Is my business eligible for international payments?

Almost all types of businesses are eligible to accept international payments once activated on Paystack. Here is a list of countries that can accept international payments for their Paystack businesses:

However, there are certain types of businesses that we, regrettably, can't receive international payments for.

There are also a few other businesses that receive extra scrutiny before we can approve their request. This is due to an increased vulnerability of their business category to fraudulent transactions.

Which businesses are not eligible for international payments?

• Instant value businesses - i.e. airtime sellers, cable subscriptions, electricity bills
• Cryptocurrency businesses
• Mobile wallet businesses
• Betting businesses
• Data resellers
• Electronic businesses
• Membership groups
• Lending businesses
• Pageantry and contest businesses

We decline international payment requests for the business categories above due to their high-risk nature.

Which businesses receive extra scrutiny?

• Churches
• Dropshippers
• Non-profit organisations
• Travel Agencies

These businesses have to provide additional information or meet extra requirements before we can approve their international payments request.
