  • For connected accounts in countries marked with an asterisk (*), bank accounts in those countries can only receive payouts in Euros (EUR).
  • For connected accounts in countries labeled Preview, Stripe can pause payouts in order to resolve issues. We don’t provide advance notice of pauses to platforms or to connected accounts.

Each country has a minimum amount for cross-border payouts, which can differ from the minimum amount for regular payouts. Some countries also have special restrictions or requirements that affect cross-border payouts. For details about minimum amounts and other requirements, see Country-specific considerations for cross-border payouts.

Stripe isn’t responsible for providing direct support for accounts on the recipient service agreement. However, the platform can reach out to Stripe for support for these accounts.

Restrictions and requirements

  • The platform must be in the US.
  • Funds must come from separate charges and transfers, destination charges without on_behalf_of (OBO), or top-ups.
  • The platform must be the business of record. Consequently, destination charges with on_behalf_of (OBO) aren’t supported.
  • Connected accounts must onboard under the recipient service agreement. That means transfers to recipient accounts take an extra 24 hours to become available in the connected account’s balance.
  • US connected accounts don’t support cross-border payouts; onboard US connected accounts using the full terms of service.
  • You can’t make cross-border instant payouts.

In addition to businesses prohibited on Stripe, you can’t use cross-border payouts for:

  • Crowdfunding
  • Donations or fund contributions
  • Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) minting and sales

The onboarding specifications for cross-border payouts vary by destination country. To learn more, see:

  • Required verification information
  • Supported settlement currencies
  • Bank account formats
