Hi there!
short fog
How to get bank token?
dawn hollow
Can you clarify what you are trying to do?
Are you trying to add a bank account to a Stripe connected account?
short fog
To add external bank account in custom account for connected account
I read the Stripe JS Reference but stlll not clear how to get a bank token?
dawn hollow
Got it. Stripe can collect this information fo you if needed for custom accounts, as mentionned here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/connect-onboarding#how-to-use-connect-onboarding-for-custom-accounts
Does that work for you, or you want to collect that information yourself?
short fog
How about if we want to collect bank account information?
dawn hollow
We recommend letting Stripe collect that information, as mentioned in the link above. But if needed you can directly collect that information yourslef. Is this what you are looking for?
short fog
Yes that is what I am looking for.
dawn hollow
Got it, then you should use this: https://stripe.com/docs/js/tokens_sources/create_token?type=bank_account
short fog
The Charges API is the fastest way to accept U.S. and Canadian payments for your startup or prototype. According to above document. How about creating bank account token for non US and Canadian bank. Will it be possible to create bank account token for Banks outside of US and Canada?
dawn hollow
I'm confused, why are you talking about the Charge API now?
What exactly are you trying to do?
If you want to add an external bank account to a custom account:
- Either let Stripe collect that information with the Stripe onboarding
- Or collect that information yourslef with
stripe.createToken('bank_account', ...)
short fog
stripe.createToken documents shows only for US and Canada. How about other couttires?
dawn hollow
Where do you see this? I don't see that mentioned in the link I shared. It should work for all countries.
short fog
Fields are different for different countries and how then above bank account token will work?
dawn hollow
Yes that's why we recommend to use the Stripe onboarding, because you don't need to care about all this complexity.
But if you provide the correct information to the createToken method, it should work regardless of the country.
short fog
I already know the fileds for all the 120 countries Stripe support but then I need to do lot of testing.
dawn hollow
Yes, it's a lot of work to collect bank account details yourself, but it's possible.
short fog
Is there a way to simulate bank account information using token perhaps using postman?
dawn hollow
No you need to use Stripe.js for this.

Thank you!
