hello! are you following this guide? https://stripe.com/docs/treasury/moving-money/payouts#financial-accounts-as-external-accounts
iron wren
try it out and let me know if you're still having trouble creating an external account
glossy sorrel
Yeah for sure ty
iron wren
this is the API in case you need the reference : https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_bank_accounts/create

I think I may have found a bug with this. I ran the curl command indicated here: https://stripe.com/docs/treasury/moving-money/payouts#financial-accounts-as-external-accounts on an account in production that was fully set up but didn't have the financial account set as the external account. The financial account was actually added twice and so now the custom connect account has duplicate external bank accounts. I checked my terminal and confirmed that I only ran the curl command one time
iron wren
hmm, can you share the request id [0]? it'd look like req_xxx
[0] https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
iron wren
yep, both would be good
wanton mason
Ahhh, and interesting enough there's a 3rd one on the 4th of this month, that came through as a 200 but seemingly didn't link the financial account as the external one
- Came in on the 4th of August. 200 for linking financial account as external account, but some other operation must have failed because the account wasn't linked
req_mB3Bxr1oDLHEmc
- manually ran this curl, once, in the terminal to set the financial account on the custom connect as the external bank (because they weren't already linked but should have been) https://stripe.com/docs/treasury/moving-money/payouts#financial-accounts-as-external-accounts
iron wren
req_mB3Bxr1oDLHEmc - this isn't to create a financial account though. Account links are used to create a link to onboard connected account via a hosted form - https://stripe.com/docs/api/account_links
let me know what's the request id for 2. and i'll take a look
wanton mason
whoops I was looking at the "from your platform" API logs
here's the "from this account"
Looking at this one https://dashboard.stripe.com/connect/accounts/acct_1LT8MdQ6X8ccLzAa/activity
^^second is the classier link sorry haha
But hand to god I ran one curl command, and now there's two of the same external bank account, same routing and account number and same fingerprint
iron wren
hmmm, i see one request made from curl, and the other one is made using the stripe-node library
are you using the stripe-node library in your server code?
wanton mason
Sorry for the delayed response! We're using the stripe-node library on our backend, yes
iron wren
i think....maybe something may have triggered your code in the backend?
