Hi there

Hello!
I should add that when we had the issue previously with the Canadian accounts, we had the api error "Your platform needs approval for accounts to have requested the transfers capability without the card_payments capability. If you would like to request transfers without card_payments, please contact us via https://support.stripe.com/contact."
So I have a hunch it is just location-specific restrictions, but I want to double-check because I can't seem to find anything mentioning this in the docs.

Gotcha - I'm looking into it now

Thank you!

I'm not sure if that's supported as a configuration in the US
or at least for cross-border

Ah I see. Because our platform is based in Canada we're able to get that approval?

I think this is the main point - https://docs.stripe.com/connect/account-capabilities#transfers-cross-border
European Union, United Kingdom, and Gibraltar platforms sending funds to SEPA countries.
US platforms sending funds to cross-border payouts destinations using a recipient service agreement.
For other scenarios, create a platform account in the same region as your connected accounts. Depending on your business structure, that might require creating a legal entity in that region and additional work to onboard connected accounts.```It seems like you can't, as a Canadian platform, create connected accounts in the US with only transfers

Gotcha. Thanks so much!
