Relink a Financial Connections account with your user's permission公開プレビュー
Prompt customers to repair data access, refresh expiring tokenized account numbers, and consent to new data permissions.
Your customers might need to reauthorize a previously linked Financial Connections account. You can prompt your customer to complete a relink session using the Stripe Dashboard or the API to:
| Reactivate an account to restore data access | Accounts might become inactive when users change their password, revoke your access, or when institutions change authentication or MFA requirements. The Financial Connections Account resource contains status-related details, including why an account is inactive, and whether you can relink it to reactivate it. After your customer reactivates an account, you can request up-to-date balance, transaction, or ownership information. |
| Refresh expiring tokenized account numbers | When tokenized account numbers expire or are revoked by the institution, you can’t initiate payments or payouts using the expired account details. Relinking an account with an expired TAN requests a new, active TAN from the institution. |
| Change the data permissions available on an account | When your customer links Financial Connections accounts for the first time, they consent to share data based on the permissions you specify. Customers must relink their accounts to consent to different permissions. |
You can request your users to relink in three ways. If you use Financial Connections to collect accounts for payments or payouts and your collected accounts meet the eligibility criteria, hosted relink is the quickest way to get started.
