# Edit Buyer Names for Payment Instruments via API

The name of a buyer linked to a payment instrument (card, bank account, token, etc.) can now be edited via API. This is helpful in situations where you need to change a name to correct an error or reflect an update to the name of the payment instrument’s owner.

To update the name associated with a `Payment Instrument`, see [Update a Payment Instrument](/api/payment-instruments/updatepaymentinstrument).
