Stripe Connect API (Ruby) with a "Managed Account": delete bank account, add multiple bank accounts

Question

I'm implementing the Stripe Connect API using the Stripe API Reference when necessary. There are two problems I haven't been able to solve using that reference:

1) Is it possible to delete a bank account? If so, how? I've tried calling standard delete and destroy methods on the bank account object, as well as .destroy_all on account.bank_accounts. account.bank_accounts.first = nil also doesn't seem to work.

2) Is it possible to add more than one bank account? The fact that the parent Account object has a .bank_accounts makes it seem like this should be possible, but the only way I can find to add a bank account is with account.bank_account= which allows you to create or update a single account.

Answer 1

I'm working on a NodeJS application using Stripe and I had these exact same questions. After talking to Stripe Support:

1. As far as I've gathered, there's no way to remove a bank account. I'm waiting on confirmation from Stripe Support, and I'll update here as soon as I get a response.

2. A single account (A managed account in my case), can have one bank account linked to it for each currency. So one, and only one, bank account which accepts USD. But it's possible to add another bank account accepting GBP. It seems like this is why the bank_accounts method is named so. Using their Node library, calling the update method with a bank_account property populated replaces an existing bank account if one of the same currency already exists.

I was hoping someone from Stripe would respond here (and still am), but until then, I hope this is helpful.
