Update an account

Updates a connected account by setting the values of the parameters passed. Any parameters not provided are left unchanged.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is application, which includes Custom accounts, you can update any information on the account.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is stripe, which includes Standard and Express accounts, you can update all information until you create an Account Link or Account Session to start Connect onboarding, after which some properties can no longer be updated.

To update your own account, use the Dashboard. Refer to our Connect documentation to learn more about updating accounts.
