Remove an existing bank account from an organisation.
Remove a Bank Account from an Organisation
Removes an existing bank account from an organisation's record.
A developer calls this endpoint to delete a bank account that is no longer valid or in use, for example after an organisation closes an account or provides updated bank account details.
The organisation is located via reference or externalIdentifier, at least one of which must be supplied.
The bank account itself is identified by bankAccountNumber, which must match an account already registered for the organisation. An account currently marked as preferred can only be removed if it is the organisation's only bank account; if other accounts exist, another account must first be made preferred (via Add a Bank Account or Update a Bank Account), which automatically transfers the preferred status, before the original account can be removed.
Request Fields
Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
reference | string | Required (at least one of reference or externalIdentifier must be given) | The internal identifier (Reference/Code) of the organisation whose bank account should be removed. |
externalIdentifier | string | Required (at least one of reference or externalIdentifier must be given) | The external API identifier of the organisation whose bank account should be removed. |
bankAccountNumber | string, max 34 | Required | The bank account number identifying which existing account to remove. Must match an account already registered for the organisation; if it does not, the request fails with an error stating the bank account was not found. If the account is marked preferred and other bank accounts exist for the organisation, the request will fail and show an error. If the account is marked preferred but is the organisation's only bank account, removal will succeed, leaving the organisation with no bank accounts. |
