Stripe Error: “PaymentMethod cannot be created from this Financial Connections Account” — Cause & Next Steps

Summary

Customers may see this error when attempting to add a bank account for payments:




 

Payment Gateway returned an error: A PaymentMethod cannot be created from this Financial Connections Account because it does not support money movement for this PaymentMethod type. Please check supported_payment_method_types on the Financial Connections Account before attempting to create a PaymentMethod.

This is a Stripe‑originated validation error. It occurs when the linked account (e.g., certain fintech/treasury accounts) does not allow ACH debits or otherwise doesn’t support creation of a Stripe PaymentMethod for money movement.
