# 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.

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