Requirements to receive funds

The person receiving funds must be over 18 years of age, have an unexpired government-issued photo ID, have a bank account in a supported country and the currency the fundraiser was set up in, and meet all of the requirements listed below for their country. If you don't meet the requirements for any of our supported countries, please do not create a fundraiser. You must ask someone who does meet the requirements to create one for you or add them as a beneficiary. If you create a fundraiser and cannot receive the funds, all donations will be refunded.

Please note, our payment processor may require additional documentation to verify your identity and bank information. You can read more about uploading documents in this article. 

If you're transferring funds to a business bank account, you can find more specific information about business transfers here.
