Although the platform can set an external account when they create the express account via the API, the platform is unable to update the external account on an Express account subsequently.
The Express account can manage their external account through their own Dashboard.

But it is working on Test mode, I'm able to create external account with connect accounts. So, What should need to do at API side to create connect and external account?
plucky wren
Can you share with me the request ID in test mode?
uncut rain
Yes, req_D0ZkPhEhh7Wt9Z
plucky wren
That's a custom account, not express account.
You can udpate an external account for customer account. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/bank-debit-card-payouts#bank-accounts:~:text=For Custom accounts%2C the platform can also set the destination bank accounts and debit cards.

Okay! So Did I need to create custom account from dashboard or using API for live mode?
plucky wren
I'd recommend using Accounts API.

Okay! Could you share that documents? And you share above link that we can update our express account as custom account.
plucky wren
No you can't change the account type once created.
And this is the API https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create#create_account
