Hello all,
Which countries can I transact in with a Marqeta issued card? Are there any countries my cardholders would not be able to use their cards in?

Hi @Artur, the restricted countries primarily depend on the partner bank that you are working with. Each bank may have a slight variation on which countries they restrict. Having said that, the lists will usually be aligned with the OFAC sanctioned countries. Marqeta's own list includes the following countries: Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, Guyana, Iran, Iraq, Korea, Laos, Myanmar, Panama, Papua New Guinea, South Sudan, Syria, Uganda, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. You can also add any other countries that you would like to restrict.
