Other information

Currently, the STPImageLibrary only has debit and credit card images (e.g. VISA, DISCOVER, AMEX) available, if you could please include bank icons (for bank methods such as Chase, Bank of America, Fifth Third Bank, Capital One, etc. -- that would be excellent!

Thanks for the feature request! Can you tell me more about your use case? We probably won't offer a direct API for individual bank logos (for one thing, we wouldn't want to bundle all the assets in the SDK), but we may add something like this to our UI elements in the future.

The use case is any platform which offers custom integration - let's take Lyft, for example.

Drivers have a banks section and can have multiple payout methods. Instead of having just a default icon (or putting it on the developer to provide the image) you can provide them with the ability to separate their service provider's payout methods using different bank images. I don't think any other platform has this aside from the PayPal / Cash App (Square) application or Plaid (via developer infrastructure).

Why not offer a direct API for the bank logos? Plaid offers it (essentially) and Stripe is the industry best... even if no one offered it, Stripe should.

All the people who use Stripe that I know use the custom integration and they love Stripe because of just that.. the flexibility. Stripe was built on the core of enabling any developer or company, anywhere to securely and safely handle payment processing and setup their own payment infrastructure, which makes the world a better and more improved place :)

and no problem. You guys are the best. Keep up the great work.

I'd really love to see this feature and although there are a lot of banks.. and assets could clog up the SDK, maybe just incorporate the major banks. Or, add an API call.. I think it's a lot more important (subconsciously) for user trust than it seems as first.

It seems to be standard to provide an image (just like the card images) so that customer trust increases.. but service provider platforms where service providers tend to have banks as payout methods as well. It will improve the customizability and design of a lot of platforms.. who use Stripe for both UI elements and a more custom integration.
