# Add a new external account

`POST /customers/external-accounts`

Register a new external bank account for a customer.

**Sandbox Testing:** In sandbox mode, use these account number patterns to test different transfer scenarios. These patterns should be used with the primary alias, address, or identifier of whatever account type you're testing. For example, the US account number, a CLABE, an IBAN, a spark wallet address, etc. The failure patterns are:
- Account numbers ending in **002**: Insufficient funds (transfer-in will fail)
- Account numbers ending in **003**: Account closed/invalid (transfers will fail)
- Account numbers ending in **004**: Transfer rejected (bank rejects the transfer)
- Account numbers ending in **005**: Timeout/delayed failure (stays pending ~30s, then fails)
- Any other account number: Success (transfers complete normally)

## Request body

- ExternalAccountCreateRequest
  - `customerId` string — The ID of the customer for whom to create the external account. If not provided, the external account will be created on behalf of the platform.
  - `currency` string, required — The ISO 4217 currency code
  - `platformAccountId` string — Your platform's identifier for the account in your system. This can be used to reference the account by your own identifier.
  - `defaultUmaDepositAccount` boolean — Whether to set the external account as the default UMA deposit account. When set to true, incoming payments to this customer's UMA address will be automatically deposited into this external account. False if not provided. Note that only one external account can be set as the default UMA deposit account for a customer, so if there is already a default UMA deposit account, this will override the existing default UMA deposit account. If there is no default UMA deposit account, incoming UMA payments will be deposited into the primary internal account for the customer.
