# Accessibility & Supported Countries

Fanable is built to be globally accessible, welcoming collectors from all around the world. Below you'll find a summary of where the platform is available, how payments are handled internationally, and which features may be geographically limited.

#### Global Platform Access

Fanable is accessible from nearly every country worldwide. Users can:

* Create an account
* Explore the marketplace
* Participate in collectible drops and kiosks
* Buy and sell digital collectibles
* Use credit card, crypto, or internal balance to pay

**Global Payments via Stripe**

Fanable uses **Stripe** to securely process payments in **195+ countries** and **135+ currencies**.

Stripe allows us to accept payments from customers nearly anywhere in the world, regardless of where they’re located — as long as they use a supported card or wallet.

* ✅ **Direct support**: Users in Stripe-supported countries can pay using local and international methods (cards, Apple Pay, etc.)
* ✅ **Indirect support**: Users in non-supported countries can often still pay using internationally issued cards
* 🚫 **Blocked regions**: Stripe restricts payments from sanctioned countries (e.g. North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Crimea)

In short: if you can see the checkout and complete a payment, your country is supported.

**Region-Limited Features**

While Fanable is available globally, some physical services are currently limited to the **United States**:

* **Sending collectibles to the vault**
* **Redeeming physical items**

These services are expected to expand internationally in the future.

**Supported Locations**

You can access and use Fanable from virtually all regions across:

* North America
* South America
* Europe
* Asia-Pacific
* Middle East
* Africa

As long as you have a valid payment method and are not located in a sanctioned region, you're good to go.

Due to international sanctions and compliance requirements, Fanable does **not support access or payments from**:

* North Korea
* Iran
* Syria
* Cuba
