You can use this parameter to specify a default contact phone number for the account. The [contact_phone](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/core/accounts/create.md?api-version=2026-01-28.clover#v2_create_accounts-contact_phone) parameter accepts phone numbers in E.164 format. ## Impact You can provide a contact phone number when creating or updating accounts.
