# Global Payouts adds support for 13 new countries for cross-border payouts

## What’s new

Adds 13 additional countries where your recipients can create bank accounts and receive payouts for cross-border payouts using [Global Payouts](https://docs.stripe.com/global-payouts.md) and [Accounts v2](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/accounts.md?api-version=2025-12-15.preview). The read-only [default_outbound_destination](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/core/accounts/object.md?api-version=2025-12-15.preview#v2_account_object-configuration-recipient-default_outbound_destination-type) enum on the [Account v2](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/core/accounts/object.md?api-version=2025-12-15.preview#v2_account_object) object can now also be populated with the following destinations:

- `al_bank_account`: Albania
- `dz_bank_account`: Algeria
- `am_bank_account`: Armenia
- `bw_bank_account`: Botswana
- `bn_bank_account`: Brunei
- `gy_bank_account`: Guyana
- `jm_bank_account`: Jamaica
- `jo_bank_account`: Jordan
- `kw_bank_account`: Kuwait
- `ma_bank_account`: Morocco
- `om_bank_account`: Oman
- `lk_bank_account`: Sri Lanka
- `tz_bank_account`: Tanzania

## Impact

Recipients in these 13 countries can now create bank accounts and receive cross-border payouts using Global Payouts. You can use [Outbound Setup Intents](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/outbound-setup-intents.md?api-version=2025-12-15.preview) to create bank accounts, and receive payouts from [Outbound Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/outbound-payments.md?api-version=2025-12-15.preview). These bank accounts can also serve as the default outbound destination on the recipient accounts.
