Stripe payout requirements
- US bank account routing number (9 digits, ACH-eligible)
- US bank account number
- Account in the LLC's legal name
- Active US bank account (Mercury, Relay, Wise Business, Brex, Bluevine, Chase Business)
Why home country banks do not work for Stripe
- Stripe US payouts use US ACH network (only US banks)
- International wire is not a Stripe payout option
- Home country banks like SBI, HSBC India, Bank of America India, etc. do not have US ACH routing
Workflow: Stripe to home country
- Stripe pays out to your Mercury (or Relay/Wise) US account via ACH
- Funds arrive in your US bank (1 to 2 business days)
- From your US bank, transfer to your home country bank via Wise USD transfer (cheap FX, 1 to 3 days) or international wire
- Or, use Wise Business as your US account; Wise sends USD to your home country at interbank rate
