Legal regulations of the recipient's country.

Since Paysera is not a bank, Paysera is often displayed to the recipient as the payer, while the real payer (you) is indicated in payment details. Thus, transfers cannot be performed via Paysera to countries where law prohibits transfers from third persons. Countries, where the internal regulation prevents transfers via Paysera:

  • Belarus*

* Except for transfers in EUR currency to banks in Belarus with the following SWIFT codes: AEBKBY2XXXX, AKBBBY2XXXX, ALFABY2XXXX, BAPBBY2XXXX, BLBBBY2XXXX, BLNBBY2XXXX, BPSBBY2XXXX, MMBNBY22XXX, MTBKBY22XXX, NBRBBY2XXXX, PJCBBY2XXXX, REDJBY22XXX, SLANBY22XXX, SOMABY22XXX, UNBSBY2XXXX, ZEPTBY2XXXX.

Technical obstacles.

Paysera uses the international standard for identification of bank account numbers (IBAN) only for standard (non-urgent) transfers in euro to SEPA countries. For transfers in other currencies and to other countries, Paysera account number (EVPxxxxxxxxxxxx) is used. As the result, other countries' systems of certain institutions cannot identify the real payer and transfers to such systems via Paysera are not performed. Due to the different account format, Paysera does not perform transfers to the following institutions:

  • The State Tax Inspectorate of Poland.


The present list is not final and can be amended and supplemented by Paysera without a prior notification. 
If transfer to your indicated account cannot be performed, the system will inform you at the moment of the transfer.
