Must only use a test bank account number when making transfers or debits in test mode; request-id: req_8bwGXgBiv

Question

I am facing a problem in giving our external bank details to create or update the account using the test account number and routing numbers, it says:

Must only use a test bank account number when making transfers or debits in test mode; request-id: req_8bwGXgBiv.

Without external bank account update and creations are working good. I need to put my external bank details I am facing the issue. I am stacked in here to update my account.

I am using account_number = 000123456789 and routing_number = 110000000 this account and routing numbers are given by stripe api

Map externalAccountParams = new HashMap(); externalAccountParams.put("routing_number", stripeAccount.getBankRoute()); externalAccountParams.put("account_number", stripeAccount.getBankAccount()); accountParams.put("external_account", externalAccountParams);

The test bank account numbers for Stripe Connect can be found here in their documentation; to get the numbers for a specific country there's a little dropdown for you to select the relevant one. For convenience, the standard test bank account numbers below:

US - 000123456789
UK - 00012345
JP - 00012345

@NeerajPrajapati it's also in the documentation - Ireland is in the EU so you can use the appropriate IBAN (eg IE89370400440532013000 - Payout succeeds) – Henry C Nov 08 '18 at 13:06

I suspect your HashMap is handling the account number as an integer and truncating the leading zeroes. The test account set up by Stripe must contain all 12 digits, including the 3 leading zeroes.

Stripe returned the same error message for me when I used an invalid account number (ex: 123456). The request went through correctly only after using the test account number 000123456789.

If anyone testing Au Becs Debit for Australian accounts, test bank accounts are listed for Connect here (although you may not be working on Stripe Connect). Hope it saves you a bit of time.
