string
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 destination country code (e.g., KE, ZA, GH, ET, RW). When provided, takes priority over the region derived from your JWT. Use this when your platform supports multiple destination countries — pass the recipient’s country code to get the correct provider list.

Always pass countryIsoCode when calling this endpoint. Multiple countries share the same currency (e.g., XOF covers Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire; XAF covers Cameroon and Gabon) — the country code is how the API returns the correct provider list for your destination. code from this endpoint → institutionCode in the transfer request. displayName → institutionName.
