Seller Wallet: Which Countries and Currencies Are Supported for Bank Transfers?
Covers which countries, regions, and currencies Amazon Seller Wallet supports for bank transfers, including the special Hong Kong USD option for high-volume sellers and the local-currency-only transfer rule.
Overview
Amazon's Seller Wallet feature allows marketplace sellers to transfer their sales proceeds directly to bank accounts in supported countries and regions. Understanding which countries, currencies, and transfer rules apply is essential for sellers who operate across multiple Amazon marketplaces and need to manage international payouts efficiently.
Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know
- Local currency transfers only — In most cases, Seller Wallet transfers can only be made in the local currency of the country or region where your bank account is located. For example, a US-based bank account will only receive transfers in USD, even if the account can accept other currencies.
- Hong Kong sellers have a currency choice — Sellers with bank accounts in Hong Kong can opt to receive transfers in either Hong Kong Dollars (HKD) or US Dollars (USD), provided they meet the eligibility threshold.
- USD eligibility for Hong Kong requires $100K in proceeds — To unlock the USD transfer option for a Hong Kong bank account, sellers must have generated at least USD 100,000 in total cross-currency net proceeds over the trailing 12 months across all Amazon stores.
- Supported country list differs from seller registration countries — The countries and regions where Seller Wallet can send transfers are not the same as the countries supported for seller account registration. Sellers should verify their bank account's country is on the supported list before setting up deposit methods.
- Wide global coverage — Seller Wallet supports bank transfers to dozens of countries spanning Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, the Middle East, and Africa.
Supported Countries, Regions, and Currencies
Seller Wallet covers an extensive list of countries and regions, each paired with its local currency for transfers. The Eurozone countries — including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, Portugal, Finland, Greece, Luxembourg, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, and Cyprus — all receive transfers in Euros (EUR). The United Kingdom is supported with transfers in British Pounds (GBP), and the United States uses US Dollars (USD).
