Where we are available

We currently take customers — both businesses and individuals — in:

• United States
• Australia
• Argentina
• Chile
• Hong Kong

You do not need to be a company: a freelancer, a sole trader, or one person selling something is an account we can open today.

Your customers can be anywhere

This limit is about you, not the people who pay you. A bitcoin payment does not ask where the payer is: an invoice you create derives an address from your own wallet key, and anyone anywhere can pay it. There is no card network deciding whose money is welcome.

It also means we never see your customer. No name, no email, no address, no IP of theirs — so there is nothing about them for a border to apply to.

Why the list is short, honestly

It is not a technical limit. Before we can bill anyone in a country, we have to be registered to collect that country’s sales tax — and that is a registration, a filing schedule and a real obligation, not a checkbox.

• European Union — pending. We are not registered for the EU’s VAT One-Stop Shop (OSS) yet, so we are not taking EU customers.
• New Zealand — pending. Same story, with GST.
• Others — as we get to them, in the order people ask for them.

We would rather say “not yet” than take your money and sort the tax out afterwards. If you open an account from a country that is not on the list, we may have to close it — which is a worse outcome for you than reading this page.

What “based in” means here

• If you are a business: where it is established, and where you are billed from. If you are not: where you live. Either way it is not about where your servers run, or where you happen to be sitting this week.
• You still have to follow your own local law, including anything your country says about accepting bitcoin and about the tax on what you collect. We do not give tax or legal advice, and nothing here is a substitute for it.

Somewhere else?

Ask anyway. Knowing that someone actually wants a country is what moves it up the list — a tax registration is worth doing for real demand and not worth doing on a guess. Use the contact page; you do not need an account to write to us.
