# External Account Cards

External account cards are debit cards associated with a Stripe platform’s connected accounts for the purpose of transferring funds to or from the connected accounts Stripe balance.

This API is only available for users enrolled in the public preview for Accounts v2 on Stripe Connect. If you are not in this preview, please use the [Accounts v1 API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/external_account_cards.md?api-version=2025-03-31.basil) to manage your connected accounts’ external bank accounts instead.
