I think this is expected, you can't get it via the Customer object. We automatically pull it from the customer, if it exists, for any new payments:

When you create and confirm a PaymentIntent with the customer balance payment method, Stripe looks for an existing VBAN that is assigned to the customer and for the country specified in the request. If the customer does not have an appropriate VBAN, Stripe generates a new VBAN for the customer.

yeah but if you want the information

'does this client have a virtual Iban or not" you are obliged to used the createFund... method

It's quite unconvenient

I guess I will have to store this information on my backend whenever I create a bank_transfer PM

[thin thistle]

Hmm, not sure I follow. The invoice/payment should automatically pull/create it without you being required to create a Funding Instruction

That's only needed if you don't have a payment

[viral shuttle]

I don't use Invoicing with stripe

I only need to create a vritual IBAN whenever a client want to pay with a bank transfer

[thin thistle]

You'd still have a Payment Intent though, regardless of an Invoice

[viral shuttle]

When I create it there's not necessarly a PaymentIntent involved

[thin thistle]

Otherwise, how do you reconcile those payments in Stripe

[viral shuttle]

I attached it to a customer

[thin thistle]

Seems weird, but ok. I guess what you want to do isn't supported – you can't find existing VBANs for customers without a payment

[viral shuttle]

Ok, very strange. It seems to be a very common use case for me. thank you anyway

have a great day

[thin thistle]

No problem, glad I could help!
