There are a few jurisdictions which WeWire cannot provide services. This means that

1. We cannot onboard entities located in these jurisdictions

Please note that the jurisdictional risk table must be reviewed in conjunction with the “Prohibited Businesses” tab​

This list will vary depending on the underlying correspondent bank and each use-case.

Certain fees and services are not guaranteed simply because a business falls into one category or the other, service availability is always subject to individual discussion.
