Question 5

What should I do if my country is not supported by Stripe?

Accepted Answer

If your country is not supported by Stripe (check the list: Is my country supported by Stripe?), we recommend that you open a digital account in a country supported by Stripe as USA. One of the options is to create a Free Bordeless account on Transferwise.

What is TransferWise?

TransferWise is a payment platform, very similar to PayPal that allows you to create an account in another country, even if you don't live there. When you open a TransferWise account, you may use it to open a Stripe account, even if your country is not currently supported by Stripe. In short, you can open a Stripe account using information from your TransferWise account.

Yes, you may open a company/business Borderless Account with TransferWise using your business registration number and/or tax identification number assigned to your company in your country.
