Why can't I use BitPay's services in my country?

BitPay is a U.S.-based company that complies with all mandated federal and local regulations.

U.S. companies are prohibited from engaging economically or by trade with persons or businesses based in countries that are under trade and economic sanctions set forth by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC).

You can view an updated list of OFAC sanctions on the OFAC site.

BitPay also complies with local regulations which ban cryptocurrency. If your country has banned bitcoin or cryptocurrency use in general, we cannot offer our services to your business or customers.

Currently, BitPay cannot service merchants that are based in the following countries: Algeria, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Cambodia, Ecuador, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Nepal, and Vietnam.
