> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.mysorbet.xyz/sorbet/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.mysorbet.xyz/sorbet/archived-pages/country-eligibility-due.md). # Country Eligibility (due) This page covers **who can use each method**, based on where your Sorbet account is based, and where the money is going. For how each method works, see **Supported Currencies & Payment Methods**. For fees, see **Fees & Limits**. Sending US dollars by SWIFT to a contractor in Pakistan will not work: Pakistan is one of the destinations SWIFT payments cannot be delivered to (see the SWIFT list below). Paying them in Pakistani rupees instead works — but rupee payouts can only be sent to an individual, not a company. If your contractor invoices you through a registered business, neither rupee option will work and you should contact support. ### Two shared restriction lists Most of the country limits on this page come from one of these two lists. Rather than repeating them on every row, the tables below reference them by name. #### Standard Restricted List Sorbet accounts based in these countries cannot use the methods that reference this list: * Afghanistan * Belarus * Burundi * Central African Republic * Cuba * Côte d'Ivoire * Democratic Republic of the Congo * Iran * Iraq * Kazakhstan * Kosovo * Kyrgyzstan * Lebanon * Libya * Mali * Nicaragua * North Korea * Puerto Rico * Russia * Somalia * South Sudan * Sudan * Syria * Tajikistan * Turkmenistan * Ukraine * United States * Uzbekistan * Venezuela * Yemen * Zimbabwe For United States dollar collection details and payouts held by business accounts, the United Kingdom is restricted in addition to the countries above. United Kingdom businesses are served by a separate wire option instead. #### SWIFT blocked destinations SWIFT payments cannot be delivered to these countries, whichever currency you send: * Afghanistan * Algeria * Bangladesh * Belarus * Central African Republic * China * Cuba * Egypt * Haiti * Iran * Iraq * Kuwait * Lebanon * Libya * Morocco * Myanmar * Nepal * Nicaragua * North Korea * North Macedonia * Pakistan * Palestinian Territories * Qatar * Russia * Somalia * South Sudan * Sudan * Syria * Tunisia * Ukraine * Venezuela * Vietnam * Yemen ### Account-opening eligibility (getting paid) These restrictions determine whether you can open a given set of collection details in the first place — they're about your account's country, not any single transaction. | Currency | Method | Eligibility | | -------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | USD | Bank Transfer (ACH) — Business | Standard Restricted List, plus United Kingdom — see appendix · extra verification required | | USD | Bank Transfer (ACH) — Individual | Standard Restricted List — see appendix | | USD | SWIFT — Business | Standard Restricted List — see appendix · extra verification required | | USD | SWIFT — Individual | Standard Restricted List — see appendix | | USD | Wire Transfer — Business | Only available to: United Kingdom, United States · extra verification required | | USD | Wire Transfer — Business | Standard Restricted List, plus United Kingdom — see appendix · extra verification required | | USD | Wire Transfer — Individual | Standard Restricted List — see appendix | | EUR | SEPA Bank Transfer | Available to any Sorbet account | | GBP | Faster Payments | Available to any Sorbet account | | GBP | Faster Payments | Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan · extra verification required | | AED | UAE Local Bank Transfer | Available to any Sorbet account | | AED | UAE Local Bank Transfer | Available to any Sorbet account · extra verification required | | MXN | SPEI | Available to any Sorbet account | | BRL | Pix | Available to any Sorbet account | | COP | Bre-B | Available to any Sorbet account | | NGN | Local Bank Transfer | Available to any Sorbet account | | PHP | Local Bank Transfer | Available to any Sorbet account | | KES | Mobile Money | Available to any Sorbet account | | RWF | Mobile Money | Available to any Sorbet account | | SLE | Mobile Money | Available to any Sorbet account | | UGX | Mobile Money | Available to any Sorbet account | | XAF | Mobile Money | Available to any Sorbet account | | XOF | Mobile Money | Available to any Sorbet account | | ZMW | Mobile Money | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Arbitrum (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Avalanche (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Base (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Ethereum (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Optimism (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Polygon (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Solana (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Starknet (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDC | Tempo (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDT | Arbitrum (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDT | BNB Chain (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDT | Ethereum (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDT | Plasma (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDT | Polygon (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDT | Solana (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | USDT | Tron (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | EURC | Base (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | EURC | Ethereum (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | EURC | Optimism (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | BRLA | Base (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | | BRLA | Ethereum (Crypto) | Available to any Sorbet account | **Wire transfer (US dollar, business accounts)** is a special case: one version is open only to businesses based in the United Kingdom or United States, and a separate version serves businesses everywhere else outside the Standard Restricted List. You'll be routed to the right one during setup. ### Sending money, restrictions by method **Restricted sender countries** means a Sorbet account based there cannot use the method at all. **Restricted recipient countries** means the money cannot be delivered there, no matter where you are based. #### North America | Currency | Method | Restricted Sender Countries | Restricted Recipient Countries |

The standard version is closed to accounts based in Argentina and the United States, and cannot deliver to the blocked destinations above. The second version is open only to accounts based in Argentina, and carries no destination-country limits in our records. **Indian rupee payouts** are not available to Sorbet accounts based in India, whichever method you use. ### Category restrictions **Gambling businesses.** Most methods on this page, including the main United States dollar, euro and pound sterling options, are closed to businesses in the gambling category. If that describes your business, contact support before relying on anything here. Not seeing your country listed anywhere above? Contact Sorbet support, we can tell you if it's on the roadmap.
