Update a child organization bank account

Beta

Make a verified bank account the one Deel debits for the child organization. Deel debits nothing until this is set. The first call creates the child organization’s automatic payment (every product, charged daily as invoices become due); later calls move it to the given account, which is how to swap accounts before removing the old one. Calling it on the current default changes nothing.

Token scopes: organizations:write

Beta: this version requires the X-Beta: true request header and its contract may change before it is promoted to stable. It is scheduled to become stable on 2027-02-12.
