Stripe Payouts to Pakistan

Stripe US pays out only to US bank accounts. Pakistani residents owning Wyoming LLCs receive Stripe payouts through Mercury, Relay, or Wise Business, then transfer to Pakistani banks.

Answer

Stripe US cannot pay out directly to Pakistani banks. Pakistani residents owning Wyoming LLCs receive Stripe payouts in their US business bank account (Mercury, Relay, or Wise Business), then transfer to Pakistani banks via Wise USD transfer or international wire. Wise USD to PKR conversion offers competitive FX rates. Pakistani State Bank regulations require declarations for large foreign currency transfers; consult a Pakistani CA for compliance.
