Verification & eligibility

Checking country and regional eligibility

Your residence or business operating location is the starting point.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Use the country directory to check initial location and route restrictions. Final access depends on your individual or business circumstances, review and partner support.

Applies to
Individuals and businesses completing eligibility or verification checks.

Updated

In this guide

Use the country directory to check your principal residence or the country where your business primarily operates. It includes locations that are available to apply, require additional checks, have restrictions, are currently unavailable or are prohibited.

What a country result means

A result describes country-level eligibility for the listed payment categories. It does not approve you personally or guarantee a named account, a particular payout destination, wallet custody or any stablecoin network.

Country of citizenship, place of incorporation and the location of your bank do not necessarily establish your principal residence or business operating location.

Regional restrictions matter

Some countries have restrictions within individual regions. The directory includes specific guidance for the United States, including New York and Texas, and for restricted Ukrainian territories.

The directory is a reference snapshot. Rules and partner support can change. Confirm an uncertain case with Ostro before applying or sending funds.

More local payout currencies does not mean universal access

Partner infrastructure can support local payouts across 100+ fiat currencies, but a listed currency is not a promise of access to every country, recipient or route. Receiving availability is a separate question from payout availability.

Use only the options made available in your workspace. Do not use a VPN, another person’s details or an inaccurate address to bypass restrictions.
