👋 Welcome to your new thread!

⏲️ We'll be here soon! Typically we respond in a few minutes, but sometimes we might take a bit longer if the server is busy or if you have a particularly tricky question.

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

Can you share an example object/payment that has these attributes?

#

Alright, I think this payment was made via Instant Bank Payments: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/link/instant-bank-payments

Instant Bank Payments

Accept low cost bank payments with instant confirmation.

#

You should be able to test that flow here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/link/instant-bank-payments#testing

Effectively it's a bank payment that is masked (by us) as a card payment

Instant Bank Payments

Accept low cost bank payments with instant confirmation.

Is every ACH payment method from Link identified as a Card payment?

balmy osprey Apr 8, 2026, 9:57 AM

#

Yes, if the user opts to pay via an 'Instant Bank Payment' it'll be type: 'card' and brand: 'link'

ember mango Apr 8, 2026, 9:57 AM

#

ok got it thanks, we will try to test it

balmy osprey Apr 8, 2026, 9:57 AM

#

Otherwise for actual card payments via Link you'd see the underlying brand/network (e.g. Visa etc)

ember mango Apr 8, 2026, 9:59 AM

#

one more queestion please

#

What other payment methods can be masked in this way? Or does Link generally only accept cards and Instant Bank Payments in all countries?

balmy osprey Apr 8, 2026, 10:03 AM

#

We added Klarna to Link too, but not sure how that surfaces: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/link/klarna

Klarna on Link

Offer buy now, pay later payments through Klarna on Link.

#

ok, and one more last question 🙂

#

last4: '0000' is a constant? or real last4 from bank account number?

balmy osprey Apr 8, 2026, 10:07 AM

#

It's just a fake card number – not the actual bank details (we wouldn't expose them)

ember mango Apr 8, 2026, 10:08 AM

#

thank you, then there are no more questions now
