# Expands cross-border payout destinations to 12 additional countries ## What’s new There are now 12 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/core/accounts/object.md?api-version=2026-02-25.preview). The read-only [default_outbound_destination](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/core/accounts/object.md?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_account_object-configuration-recipient-default_outbound_destination-type) enum on the [Accounts v2](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/core/accounts/object.md?api-version=2026-02-25.preview) object can now also be populated with the following destinations: - `bt_bank_account`: Bhutan - `cr_bank_account`: Costa Rica - `do_bank_account`: Dominican Republic - `gt_bank_account`: Guatemala - `md_bank_account`: Moldova - `mk_bank_account`: North Macedonia - `mo_bank_account`: Macao - `mz_bank_account`: Mozambique - `pe_bank_account`: Peru - `pk_bank_account`: Pakistan - `tw_bank_account`: Taiwan - `uz_bank_account`: Uzbekistan ## Impact Recipients in these 12 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=2026-02-25.preview) to create bank accounts and receive payouts from [Outbound Payments](https://docs.stripe.com/api/v2/money-management/outbound-payments.md?api-version=2026-02-25.preview). These bank accounts can also serve as the default outbound destination on the recipient accounts. ## Changes #### REST API | Values | Change | Enum | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `bt_bank_account`, `cr_bank_account`, `do_bank_account`, `gt_bank_account`, `md_bank_account`, `mk_bank_account`, `mo_bank_account`, `mz_bank_account`, `pe_bank_account`, `pk_bank_account`, `tw_bank_account`, `uz_bank_account` | Added | [V2.Core.Account.configuration.recipient.default_outbound_destination](/api/v2/core/accounts/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_account_object-configuration-recipient-default_outbound_destination-type) | #### Ruby This change does not affect the Ruby SDK. #### Python | Values | Change | Enum | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `bt_bank_account`, `cr_bank_account`, `do_bank_account`, `gt_bank_account`, `md_bank_account`, `mk_bank_account`, `mo_bank_account`, `mz_bank_account`, `pe_bank_account`, `pk_bank_account`, `tw_bank_account`, `uz_bank_account` | Added | [V2.Core.Account.Configuration.Recipient.DefaultOutboundDestination](/api/v2/core/accounts/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_account_object-configuration-recipient-default_outbound_destination-type) | #### PHP | Values | Change | Enum | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `bt_bank_account`, `cr_bank_account`, `do_bank_account`, `gt_bank_account`, `md_bank_account`, `mk_bank_account`, `mo_bank_account`, `mz_bank_account`, `pe_bank_account`, `pk_bank_account`, `tw_bank_account`, `uz_bank_account` | Added | [V2.Core.Account.configuration.recipient.default_outbound_destination](/api/v2/core/accounts/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_account_object-configuration-recipient-default_outbound_destination-type) | #### Java This change does not affect the Java SDK. #### Node.js | Values | Change | Enum | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `bt_bank_account`, `cr_bank_account`, `do_bank_account`, `gt_bank_account`, `md_bank_account`, `mk_bank_account`, `mo_bank_account`, `mz_bank_account`, `pe_bank_account`, `pk_bank_account`, `tw_bank_account`, `uz_bank_account` | Added | [V2.Core.Account.configuration.recipient.default_outbound_destination](/api/v2/core/accounts/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_account_object-configuration-recipient-default_outbound_destination-type) | #### Go | Values | Change | Enum | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `bt_bank_account`, `cr_bank_account`, `do_bank_account`, `gt_bank_account`, `md_bank_account`, `mk_bank_account`, `mo_bank_account`, `mz_bank_account`, `pe_bank_account`, `pk_bank_account`, `tw_bank_account`, `uz_bank_account` | Added | [V2CoreAccountConfigurationRecipientDefaultOutboundDestination](/api/v2/core/accounts/object?api-version=2026-02-25.preview#v2_account_object-configuration-recipient-default_outbound_destination-Type) | #### .NET This change does not affect the .NET SDK. ## Upgrade #### REST API 1.
