# Expands bank account identification details in payout method responses ## What’s new Adds the [swift_code](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object.md?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account-swift_code) and [branch_number](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object.md?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account-branch_number) properties to the `bank_account` hash on the [Payout Method](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods.md?api-version=2026-02-25.preview) object. Both properties return null when the information isn’t available or doesn’t apply to the bank account. ## Impact You can now access additional bank account identification details when retrieving Payout Methods. The `swift_code` property contains the bank’s SWIFT or BIC code, and the `branch_number` property contains the branch identifier. ## Changes #### REST API | Parameters | Change | Resources or endpoints | | ----------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `branch_number`, `swift_code` | Added | [V2.MoneyManagement.PayoutMethod.bank_account](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | #### Ruby | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ----------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `branch_number`, `swift_code` | Added | [V2::MoneyManagement::PayoutMethod::BankAccount](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | #### Python | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ----------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `branch_number`, `swift_code` | Added | [V2.MoneyManagement.PayoutMethod.BankAccount](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | #### PHP | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ----------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `branch_number`, `swift_code` | Added | [V2.MoneyManagement.PayoutMethod.bank_account](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | #### Java | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `branchNumber`, `swiftCode` | Added | [v2.moneymanagement.PayoutMethod.bank_account](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | #### Node.js | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | ----------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `branch_number`, `swift_code` | Added | [V2.MoneyManagement.PayoutMethod.bank_account](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | #### Go | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `BranchNumber`, `SwiftCode` | Added | [V2MoneyManagementPayoutMethodBankAccount](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | #### .NET | Parameters | Change | Resources or methods | | --------------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `BranchNumber`, `SwiftCode` | Added | [V2.MoneyManagement.PayoutMethod.BankAccount](/api/v2/money-management/payout-methods/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_payout_method_object-bank_account) | ## Upgrade #### REST API 1.
