Know Before You Receive or Collect Payment: What Our Payments Platform Cannot Support

We’re committed to providing a reliable payment experience. To do this, we must follow financial and international rules that prohibit payments linked to certain services or countries. Here’s a quick guide to what we cannot process, and what it means for you.

1.  Introduction — why platforms restrict certain payments.

• Work smoothly with our financial partners

🚩 Payments to or from these prohibited services and countries may be delayed or declined, and continuous breaches may result in account closure.

6. Conclusion & compliance

These restrictions are meant to protect you and help us keep our platform safe.
