Removing external accounts

When a customer no longer wants their external bank account to be associated with a Plaid item, you can revoke their Plaid access_token.

To revoke an access_token, use the DELETE /accounts/{account_id} operation and provide the body parameters as shown in the table below.

ParameterTypeDescription
account_id
required
stringCard account ID, for example 9dc86a8a-4c12-4107-84a8-e7cf6a76586f.

An example of a request to to remove an external account is shown below.

curl --request DELETE \
     --url https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/accounts/9dc86a8a-4c12-4107-84a8-e7cf6a76586f \

headers = {
    "Identity": "YOUR-IDENTITY",
    "Authorization": "YOUR-AUTHORIZATION"
}

response = requests.request("DELETE", url, headers=headers)

print(response.text)
var client = new RestClient("https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/accounts/9dc86a8a-4c12-4107-84a8-e7cf6a76586f/external_accounts/8dd4e2de-33be-4bb3-9a19-25069033a5e2");
var request = new RestRequest(Method.DELETE);
request.AddHeader("Identity", "YOUR-IDENTITY");
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "YOUR-AUTHORIZATION");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

Request request = new Request.Builder()
  .url("https://sandbox.bond.tech/api/v0/accounts/9dc86a8a-4c12-4107-84a8-e7cf6a76586f/external_accounts/8dd4e2de-33be-4bb3-9a19-25069033a5e2")
  .delete(null)
  .addHeader("Identity", "YOUR-IDENTITY")
  .addHeader("Authorization", "YOUR-AUTHORIZATION")
  .build();

Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();

Once the access_token is revoked, Bond deletes the external account. If the customer wants to reconnect their Bond card account to this external bank account, the account must be relinked.
