Mexican (CLABE)

Step-by-step guide to adding a Mexican bank beneficiary on Devdraft, so you can send payouts using their 18-digit CLABE account number.

Overview

Before you can send a payout to someone in Mexico, you need to add them as a recipient and provide their CLABE account details. This guide walks through the full flow from tapping + on the Recipients screen to submitting a completed Mexican bank beneficiary.

Mexican beneficiaries are identified by their CLABE (Clave Bancaria Estandarizada), an 18-digit standardized bank account number.
