I am a Connect platform using Custom. How do I update my connected accounts’ bank accounts?

As a Custom Connect platform, you have the ability to update your connected accounts’ bank accounts directly.

1. Collect new bank account information from your connected accounts
   1. Contact relevant connected accounts and inform them that they want to update their payout bank account.
   2. If your application allows for editing of bank account information, route your users to your application to add a new bank account and set it as the default payout method. To ensure that the new bank account is the default bank account, you will need to create a new bank account for the user and set default_for_currency = true.
   3. If your application doesn’t allow for editing of bank account information, provide a way for your users to contact you. You can then manually add bank accounts for your connected accounts through the platform Stripe Dashboard by following this guide.
2. Delete the old bank account (optional)
   1. Once your user has a new bank account attached, you can optionally delete the old bank account.
   2. Note that you cannot delete the old bank account if it is the only bank account available for a connected account. You must have at least one default bank account on file.
