Country-specific considerations for cross-border payouts

Learn which countries have additional requirements for receiving payments from outside their borders.

Most banks can accept payments from other countries without any special requirements. Some banks in certain countries require more information regarding recipient identity or transaction information for risk and compliance purposes. The receiving bank often has discretion over what they require for cross-border transactions, which can differ between banks, even within the same country.

If a seller or service provider onboards as a connected account to your platform in one of these countries, we send an email to alert your user of the possibility for additional requirements. If the receiving bank requires additional information, they should reach out to your user directly with their requirements.

Note

Banks might have special requirements in certain countries, so your user might pay additional fees for the payout. Stripe might also set a higher minimum payout threshold to account for possible fees charged by certain banks.

The list of possible requirements for the following countries isn’t exhaustive, as Stripe isn’t involved with creating these conditions. If you encounter additional requirements that aren’t listed, please notify Stripe support.

Possible special requirements include:

Bangladesh

Submitting a remittance form.
Providing a receipt or invoice as proof that the recipient is legitimately receiving the payment.
