# Global Payouts adds support for 15 new countries for cross-border payouts ## What’s new There are now 15 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=2026-01-28.preview). The read-only [default_outbound_destination](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/core/accounts/object.md?api-version=2026-01-28.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=2026-01-28.preview) object can now also be populated with the following destinations: - `ae_bank_account`: United Arab Emirates - `ag_bank_account`: Antigua and Barbuda - `bh_bank_account`: Bahrain - `gm_bank_account`: Gambia - `hk_bank_account`: Hong Kong - `kh_bank_account`: Cambodia - `lc_bank_account`: Saint Lucia - `mc_bank_account`: Monaco - `mg_bank_account`: Madagascar - `my_bank_account`: Malaysia - `qa_bank_account`: Qatar - `rw_bank_account`: Rwanda - `th_bank_account`: Thailand - `tt_bank_account`: Trinidad and Tobago - `vn_bank_account`: Vietnam ## Impact Recipients in these 15 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=2026-01-28.preview) to create bank accounts, and receive payouts from [Outbound Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/outbound-payments.md?api-version=2026-01-28.preview). These bank accounts can also serve as the default outbound destination on the recipient accounts. ## Changes #### REST API | Values | Change | Enum | |
