Stripe Not Supported in My Country – Alternatives for GitHub Sponsors?

Body

Hi everyone,

I live in a country where Stripe is not supported, and since I’m from a third-world country, it’s extremely difficult for me to get a Stripe account. However, I do have a US virtual bank account and access to other payment services.

I've been accepted for the GitHub Sponsors program, but due to the Stripe requirement, I can't proceed further. Is there any workaround or alternative way to link other payment accounts?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
