Requirements to receive funds: All countries

This article will provide a full list of account requirements, based on the country where the fundraiser is located.

The person receiving funds must have a bank account in the currency that the fundraiser was set up in, and meet all of the requirements listed below. If you do not meet the requirements for any of our supported countries, please do not create a fundraiser. You must ask someone who does meet the requirements to create one for you. If you create a fundraiser and cannot receive the funds, all donations will be refunded.

Please note, our payment processor may require additional documentation to verify your identity and bank information. You can read more about that process in this article

If you are withdrawing funds to a business bank account, you can find more specific information, and a helpful video on business withdrawals here.
