Thanks. The blog post could be edited a bit then. It says:

> GitHub Sponsors is now out of beta and generally available to developers with bank accounts in 30 countries and growing.

and the link points to https://help.github.com/en/github/supporting-the-open-source... where only Stripe Connect has a list of countries while wire is also a possibility.

It's not obvious that somehow out of beta means mandatory Stripe Connect and no wire transfer. Although I assume that perhaps you use Stripe for wire transfers too?
