Certain countries are restricted from receiving credit cards and accounts due to:
- Regulatory Compliance: Financial services must adhere to international laws, sanctions, and local regulations, which may restrict operations in specific regions.
- Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) Requirements: To ensure compliance with global AML and KYC policies, services may be limited in countries with high-risk ratings or insufficient regulatory frameworks.
- Partnership Limitations: Restrictions may also be tied to agreements with financial institutions and card networks, which can vary based on the region.
- Operational Feasibility: In some cases, logistical or infrastructural challenges may make it impractical to support services in certain locations.
