Authorised fraud often ends with a payment sent abroad. A fraudster calls, poses as the bank or police, and urges the customer to move their money to a “secure account” — usually in another country. It sounds urgent. It feels legitimate. And once the payment’s gone, it’s difficult to recover.

Why it matters

Cross-border payments carry more risk — for fraud, AML, and reputational exposure. Reversals are harder. Monitoring is more complex. And compliance obligations are stricter.

Country Limits let you proactively block outbound payments to specific destinations — based on internal policy, risk appetite, or regulatory requirements. Customers can also manage their own destination list, adding an extra layer of control. It’s a clear, defensible way to reduce risk without disrupting everyday payments.

Why It Works

Country Limits apply a hard stop based on destination. You define the rules — by country, region, or corridor. Customers can also set their own preferences, choosing where they allow (or don’t allow) funds to be sent.

When a restricted destination is selected, you decide what happens next: block it, escalate it, or step it up. There’s no friction unless it’s needed — and a clear signal when it is.
