Hey! Stripe accounts can only have a single external account per settlement currency. There's no way to divert a specific balance to a certain bank, no
i.e. if you settle in USD, your accumulated USD balance will be sent to your USD account

The balance will always be in the same currency, would that be possible? Because from the dashboard, I created multiple test bank accounts against a single connect account.

I created multiple test bank accounts against a single connect account.
Yes, but they would have been for different settlement currencies/balances
Can you share an account ID where there are multiple external accounts?
stray spade
yeah, sure.

Our target audience is of United Kingdom and settlements will always be in GBP and bank account will be of United Kingdom's. Is it possible to add multiple bank accounts and the user will specifically select the bank at the time of withdrawal?

Not seeing any external accounts for that account, but anyway you can do what you want because you're using custom connected accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/payouts-bank-accounts#multiple-accounts
But you'd need to switch to manual payouts, and then you can pass the destination parameter when creating a Payout: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payouts/create#create_payout-destination
Otherwise it will fallback to the default external account for that settlement currency

Account is in test mode

You can still add external accounts using testing data: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#payouts

Alright, let me check the link. Thank you 🙂
sterile hinge
Sure, np
stray spade
are payouts and transfers used for the same purpose?
sterile hinge
No, Transfers facilitate moving funds between Stripe accounts. Payouts are to external accounts
stray spade
Oh, thanks, brother.
