# Create processor token

`POST /processor/token/create`

Used to create a token suitable for sending to one of Plaid's partners to enable integrations. Note that Stripe partnerships use bank account tokens instead; see `/processor/stripe/bank_account_token/create` for creating tokens for use with Stripe integrations. If using multiple processors, multiple different processor tokens can be created for a single access token. Once created, a processor token for a given Item can be modified by calling `/processor/token/permissions/set`. To revoke the processor's access, the entire Item must be deleted by calling `/item/remove`.
