metadataobject nullable

Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format.

object'bank_account' required

String representing the object's type. Objects of the same type share the same value.

routing_numberstring nullable

The routing transit number for the bank account.

statusstring required

For bank accounts, possible values are new, validated, verified, verification_failed, tokenized_account_number_deactivated or errored. A bank account that hasn't had any activity or validation performed is new. If Stripe can determine that the bank account exists, its status will be validated. Note that there often isn’t enough information to know (e.g., for smaller credit unions), and the validation is not always run. If customer bank account verification has succeeded, the bank account status will be verified. If the verification failed for any reason, such as microdeposit failure, the status will be verification_failed. If the status is tokenized_account_number_deactivated, the account utilizes a tokenized account number which has been deactivated due to expiration or revocation. This account will need to be reverified to continue using it for money movement. If a payout sent to this bank account fails, we'll set the status to errored and will not continue to send scheduled payouts until the bank details are updated.

For external accounts, possible values are new, errored, verification_failed, and tokenized_account_number_deactivated. If a payout fails, the status is set to errored and scheduled payouts are stopped until account details are updated. In the US and India, if we can't verify the owner of the bank account, we'll set the status to verification_failed. Other validations aren't run against external accounts because they're only used for payouts. This means the other statuses don't apply.
