If your customers are unable to complete payments using Open Banking, or if the payment flow stops after selecting their bank, this is usually caused by missing required information in your bank account setup.

Open Banking requires your legal entity address to be configured before payments can be processed. This article will guide you through verifying and updating these settings.

You may experience:

  • Customers report that "nothing happens" after selecting their bank

  • Payment flow does not redirect to the banking portal


Steps to Fix

Step 1: Access Your Bank Account Settings

  1. Navigate to Settings β†’ Bank Account β†’ View and Add Accounts

  2. Locate the bank account you're using for Open Banking payments

  3. Click the pencil icon to edit the account

  4. Ensure All the data is populated correctly including the Legal Entity Address


Step 2: Save Your Changes

  1. Review all the information you've entered

  2. Optional: Toggle "Use as default" if this should be your primary bank account

  3. Click the Update button at the bottom


Verify the Fix

After updating your bank account settings:

  1. If possible please test a open bank payment using a small fee and ensuring everything works as expected.

  2. Confirm that the page successfully redirects to the bank's login page

  3. Complete the test payment

  4. Ask a customer to initiate a test payment via Open Banking.


Why This is Required

Open Banking payments are regulated financial transactions that require:

  • Legal entity verification - Banks need to know who is requesting the payment

  • Compliance with financial regulations - Legal business details must be provided

  • Customer protection - Ensures transparency about who is receiving the payment

Without this information, the payment provider (Yapily) cannot authorize the transaction, and the payment flow will fail.
