# Actualizar cuenta bancaria conectada

PATCH https://app.recurrente.com/api/connected_accounts/{connected_account_id}/bank_accounts/{id}
Content-Type: application/json

Cambia la cuenta bancaria predeterminada de retiros enviando
`is_preferred: true` en la cuenta bancaria que debe quedar como principal.

Las cuentas bancarias son inmutables: para cambiar cualquier otro campo
(titular, número, banco, moneda, tipo), archiva la cuenta bancaria
existente y crea una nueva. Recurrente responde `400` si se intenta
actualizar cualquier campo distinto de `is_preferred`.

## Authentication

- `X-SECRET-KEY` header (required) — Tu clave secreta de API. Una llave de cuenta (`sk_live_...`, `sk_test_...`) opera sobre su propia cuenta y, con `X-ACCOUNT-ID`, sobre sus cuentas conectadas. La llave también fija el ambiente: una `sk_test_` solo lista y resuelve objetos de prueba (`live_mode: false`) y una `sk_live_` solo objetos reales. Un ID del otro ambiente responde `404` (`401` en `/customers`). Una llave de organización (`sk_org_live_...`, `sk_org_test_...`) alcanza todas las cuentas de una organización y solo sirve para leer: saldos, movimientos y reportes. Para operar sobre una cuenta debe nombrarla con `X-ACCOUNT-ID`; omitirlo en una lectura devuelve todas las cuentas de la organización. Cualquier otro endpoint responde `403` con `code: organization_key_unsupported`.
