What does new_account_information_available mean?

new_account_information_available is the code the network returns when a cardholder's details have changed (e.g., a reissued card) but the merchant is still using the old data. Stripe Account Updater can often fetch the new details automatically if enabled.

Recovery strategy

Retry approach

Do not retry with the old data. First check if Stripe Account Updater has refreshed the payment method; if not, request a manual update.

Customer message

If Account Updater does not resolve it, ask the customer to update their card. Explain that the card was reissued by their bank.

Best practices

  • Enable Stripe Account Updater on all relevant plans
  • Monitor for new_account_information_available; a spike may indicate Account Updater is off or misconfigured

About hard declines

Permanent issue. The card cannot be charged. Customer must provide a new payment method.

Frequently asked questions

Does Stripe Account Updater cost extra?
