Which alternative works if Wise won't give my business USD account details?

Wise's help center says you can't get USD account details if your address is in countries including Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Türkiye or the UAE. Payoneer covers 190+ countries and territories. None of those countries is on Align's prohibited list, but Align doesn't onboard companies based in the UAE. Every company goes through a KYB review, and Align's US banking partner runs its own review before switching on ACH and wires.

The wider picture

The key points from the guide this answer comes from:

  1. Wise Business publishes its fees and gives account details in 22 currencies, but charges 6.11 USD for each incoming USD wire or SWIFT payment.
  2. Wise doesn't give USD account details for addresses in countries including Bangladesh, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Türkiye and the UAE, and doesn't serve businesses that trade crypto.
  3. The main alternatives are Airwallex, Revolut Business, Payoneer, Mercury and Align, each covering a different gap.
  4. Align fits companies paid in stablecoins: named USD, EUR, GBP and AED accounts in your company's name, with money received landing as USDC or USDT, or as EURC for euros.
