For folks with bank accounts outside of that list, GitHub Sponsors is still in beta, we're accepting applications, and we’ll continue to roll out general availability to those countries in the coming months.

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?
We do support ACH transfer and wire transfer (as noted in the documentation) for developers with bank accounts in countries that are still in the limited beta. In the coming months, we'll be expanding general availability for more countries on a rolling basis. I'll look into clarifying that in the help docs too.
