Expanded Global Payouts Coverage

Stripe has added support for cross-border payouts in 12 new countries through its Global Payouts and Accounts v2 APIs. Recipients in these countries can now create bank accounts and receive international payouts using the platform's money movement infrastructure.

New Supported Destinations

The following countries are now available for outbound payouts:

• Asia-Pacific: Pakistan, Taiwan, Macao, Uzbekistan
• Americas: Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Peru
• Europe & Other: Bhutan, Moldova, North Macedonia, Mozambique

Each country has a corresponding bank account destination type (e.g., pk_bank_account for Pakistan, tw_bank_account for Taiwan) that can be used with Outbound Payments and Outbound Setup Intents.

Developer Action Items

To enable this functionality:

1. Update your API version to 2026-02-25.preview in your Stripe account
2. Upgrade your SDK to the latest version (Ruby, Python, PHP, Java, Node.js, Go, or .NET)
3. Test your integration with the new API version before going live
4. Use Outbound Setup Intents to have recipients create bank accounts in their local currency
5. Set default outbound destinations on recipient accounts using the new default_outbound_destination enum values

The default_outbound_destination field on the Accounts v2 object will now be populated with the new country-specific bank account types, allowing you to streamline payout flows for international recipients.
