Merchant Bank Information page allows you to view and modify the contact information for the merchant bank that maintains your internet merchant account. A merchant bank is a bank or financial institution that issues an internet merchant account for the acceptance of online transactions. The contact person is typically the Sales representative or manager who sold you the internet merchant account.
You cannot change your Internet merchant account number here. However, if you have any plans to change it, be sure that you notify both PayPal support at 888-883-9770 and your processor, otherwise your transactions can begin to fail.
Only administrators can modify the contact information for the merchant bank information. If you do not have administrator privileges, you can only view this information.
Never email your internet merchant account number, processor information, customer credit card numbers, or your password information to anyone, not even PayPal.
