An External Account Document is a document uploaded by the customer to help prove they own an external account. Examples include an image (or pdf) of a bank statement or a driver's license. This object is only used in rare circumstances, e.g., a customer has reached the maximum number of allowed external accounts and they need to swap an existing external account for another one.
