HTML version: [Delete site bank account](https://support.gladstonesoftware.cloud/reference/configuration/delete-site-bank-account)

## Overview

Deletes the bank account a site uses for one EFT (electronic funds transfer) system. A site holds at most one bank account per EFT system, so the site and EFT system together identify the record; deleting one leaves the site's accounts for other EFT systems untouched.

The endpoint checks two things in order before deleting. First it confirms the site exists; if not you get `404` with `Site with id {siteId} was not found`. Then it confirms a bank account exists for that site and EFT system; if not you get `404` with `Bank Account with site id {siteId} and eft system id {eftSystemId} was not found`. Because existence is checked explicitly, repeating a successful delete returns `404` rather than a no-op.

The delete is permanent, and a following [Retrieve all site bank accounts](get-all-site-bank-accounts.md) reflects the change straight away. A successful call returns `204 No Content` with an empty body.

## Endpoint

`DELETE {base_url}/api/configuration/{siteId}/bank-accounts/{eftSystemId}`

`{base_url}` is the environment URL issued to your integration. See [Authenticating with Gladstone APIs](../../guides/authenticating-with-gladstone-apis.md).

## Path parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `siteId` | string | Yes | The site whose bank account you are removing, matching the `id` returned by [Retrieve all sites](get-all-sites-with-optional-filtering.md). Validated first: an unrecognised site returns `404` before the bank account is looked at. |
| `eftSystemId` | integer (int32) | Yes | The EFT system the account belongs to. Take it from the `eftsystemId` on an account returned by [Retrieve all site bank accounts](get-all-site-bank-accounts.md). |

## Sample request

```bash title="cURL"
curl -X DELETE '{base_url}/api/configuration/{siteId}/bank-accounts/{eftSystemId}' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {accessToken}' \
  -H 'X-Use-SSO: true'
```

## Errors

| Status | Meaning | When |
|--------|---------|------|
| `404` | Not found | Either `Site with id {siteId} was not found` when the site does not exist, or `Bank Account with site id {siteId} and eft system id {eftSystemId} was not found` when the site exists but has no account for that EFT system — which is also what a repeated delete returns. The message is returned as the response body. |
| `500` | Internal server error | Any unexpected server-side failure during the delete. The body carries the error message, so treat a `500` here as retryable only after you have re-read the account. |
