Supported Countries
Where RevKeen operates — merchant underwriting coverage, customer payment acceptance, and settlement currencies.
Supported Countries
RevKeen operates across three distinct coverage layers: where you can have a merchant account, where your customers can pay you, and what currencies we settle in. Each layer has different rules and rollout schedules.
Merchant underwriting
Countries where a business can sign up as a RevKeen merchant, subject to standard underwriting.

Expansion requests
If your country is not listed and you want to become a RevKeen merchant, contact sales with your business details, expected monthly volume, and customer geography. We expand underwriting coverage based on aggregate demand and regulatory feasibility — your request helps inform our roadmap.
Customer payment acceptance
RevKeen merchants can accept payments from customers anywhere in the world where their cards are issued. The card networks (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) operate globally, so customer-side geography is rarely a constraint.
Fully supported
Cards issued in any country where the issuing bank participates in Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB, Diners, or UnionPay networks can be processed through RevKeen. This covers over 200 countries and territories.
Enhanced fraud screening
Transactions from the following regions automatically trigger enhanced fraud screening (additional AVS, CVV, velocity, and device-fingerprinting checks). This does not change the processing fee or merchant experience, but may result in elevated decline rates for prospective customers with limited transaction history:
- Countries on the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list (transactions blocked)
- Countries subject to UK HM Treasury financial sanctions (transactions blocked)
- High-risk jurisdictions per the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey and black lists (enhanced screening)
- Countries with historically elevated chargeback rates (enhanced screening, may require merchant pre-approval)
Blocked countries
Transactions originating from the following countries are not processed regardless of merchant location, in line with international sanctions and card network rules:
- Cuba
- Iran
- North Korea
- Syria
- Russia (subject to ongoing sanctions, currently blocked for most transaction types)
- Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions
- Any country added to OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list
Settlement currencies
Currencies in which RevKeen can settle funds to your nominated bank account:
| Currency | Code | Supported merchant jurisdictions |
|---|---|---|
| British Pound | GBP | All current merchant countries |
| Euro | EUR | EEA merchants and UK merchants with EUR account |
| US Dollar | USD | All current merchant countries with USD account |
Multi-currency acceptance
RevKeen accepts payments in 135+ currencies at checkout. Customer-facing currencies can be configured per-product or per-market. Currency conversion from the customer's currency to your settlement currency happens at the card network interbank rate at the time of capture — RevKeen does not add an FX margin.
For comparison, Paddle and PayPal typically add a 2%–3% FX margin on currency conversion. Polar passes through Stripe's FX fees of 0.25%–1% depending on destination currency.
