Hi there, when you mention default account are you referring the the Platform account or the Custom Connected account?
ocean oasis
Yes, you can delete the Custom Connected account, either via the Accounts API request [0] or your Platform account's Dashboard [1].
[0] https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/delete
[1] https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/connect/accounts/overview
Sorry, you meant bank account?
This is also achievable via https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_bank_accounts/delete
obsidian atlas
yes i can delete but before deleting i have to first add another another account and set default set to true?
this is the condition to delete the default account?
Am i right?
ocean oasis
Yes:
To delete a bank account, you must first replace the default external account by setting default_for_currency with another external account in the same currency.
obsidian atlas
Same applies for card as well?
ocean oasis
Correct
This is to ensure the account's money knows where to go when Payout happens.

As one for our team members just mail the stripe about this they said yes you can delete the external account , but they didn't mention the condition.
ocean oasis
Apologies the conditions might not be easy to find: https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_bank_accounts/delete and https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_cards/delete
Thank you for your feedback, I will reflect with the team and see if we could expose this on the Dashboard. To have this message to appear when attempting to delete bank accounts or cards. 🙇
obsidian atlas
Now can i discuss with the team that before deleting the bank account , we have to consider this condition as well?
ocean oasis
Yes please, for a Custom account where a bank account has been added and set as default, a new bank account is required before deletion 🙇
obsidian atlas
Thanks.
