When you create a new bank account, you must specify a connected account to create it on. You can only specify connected accounts where account.controller.requirement_collection is application (includes Custom accounts).

If the bank account’s owner has no other external account in the bank account’s currency, the new bank account will become the default for that currency. However, if the owner already has a bank account for that currency, the new account will become the default only if the default_for_currency parameter is set to true.

Parameters

  • external_accountobject | stringRequired

    Either a token, like the ones returned by Stripe.js, or a dictionary containing a user’s bank account details (with the options shown below).

  • metadataobject

    Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

More parameters

  • default_for_currencyboolean

Returns

Returns the bank account object

You can delete destination bank accounts from a connected account where account.controller.requirement_collection is application (includes Custom accounts).

There are restrictions for deleting a bank account with default_for_currency set to true. You cannot delete a bank account if any of the following apply:

  • The bank account’s currency is the same as the connected account’s default_currency.
  • There is another external account (card or bank account) with the same currency as the bank account.

To delete a bank account, you must first replace the default external account by setting default_for_currency with another external account in the same currency.

Parameters

No parameters.

Returns

Returns the deleted bank account object.
