Heyy, so i have a question regarding bank accounts on express accounts

#

i have a connected account that have two bank accoutns but cant set the one that we wants as the default on the express dashboard

#

any ideia why

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

You as the platform can't change it, or your Express user can't?

primal geode Jul 21, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

the connected account

#

so the user express

#

Hmm that sounds odd. I don't know much about the Express Dashboard as I focus on the API. Have they reached out to our Support team about this?

primal geode Jul 21, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

so as api howi can mark a bank account as default

#

?

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:39 PM

#

You can't.

#

With Express accounts the Express user controls their external accounts

#

-.-, so if stripe is not allowing my clients to do it in express dashboard how they will change the bank account that they want to default

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:41 PM

#

Well there should be a way, I'm just stating I don't know much about it since I focus on the API but our Support team can help or report it as a bug if it is a bug.

#

ok so a quesiton regarding api

#

how i can check what is the default bank account of a connect express account via api

#

the account object gives me the external accounts object by i dont have a param that tells me which is the default

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

Yep, there should be a default_for_currency property: https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_bank_accounts/object#account_bank_account_object-default_for_currency

#

but if the account have two bank with different currencies each one will be the currency default

#

so how i would know to which bank goes the funds when they are paid out

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Well it would be based on the currency of the payout then

primal geode Jul 21, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

so if the account is from Uk and was created using gbp the bank account is the one the as the default for gbp currency right?

#

can a connect account change is default currency?

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

primal geode so if the account is from Uk and was created using gbp the bank account is the o...

correct

#

Yes the Connect user should be able to set their default settlement currency if they have multiple external accounts for different currencies.

primal geode Jul 21, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

and can a connected account change is default_currency property? if yes how

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

There should be away in the Express Dashboard I believe

#

Like I said I'm not intimately familiar with the Express Dashboard.

#

It may be worth creating a test Express account and adding multiple external accounts in different currencies so you can get a feel for it!

primal geode Jul 21, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

i was talking about api

ocean veldt Jul 21, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

Express users can't do anything via the API
