Restricted Countries for Incentives
Ethnio is based in California, so we make sure that paying recipients in other countries follows all compliance and regulations. The following is a list of countries that Ethnio does not support for issuing incentives, but please note this list changes frequently and payment providers frequently change their own service availability without notice.
⚠️ For current Ethnio customers, the most current place to look is your logged in Ethnio account > incentives > payment methods. This article will frequently be out-of-date.
