How cross-border ordering works

  1. Enter the real Haitian delivery address first and confirm that the exact product is eligible.
  2. If direct delivery is unavailable, open a forwarding account and use its assigned U.S. warehouse address.
  3. Check item price, store tax, domestic shipping, forwarding, insurance, customs and local delivery.
  4. Pay only inside the official checkout, save the receipt and follow every tracking number until delivery.
Shopping safety: Do not pay a seller through WhatsApp, gift cards, cryptocurrency or an unrelated personal account. Never buy prohibited goods, loose lithium batteries, weapons, controlled substances or other restricted items through a forwarder. Delivery coverage can change during disruptions in Haiti; confirm the pickup city or final-delivery area before placing the order. Haitian People is a directory and does not process orders or hold customer money.

Marketplace and forwarding availability was checked on August 24, 2026. Product eligibility, delivery areas, payment acceptance, customs charges and delivery times remain the responsibility of the store, carrier and purchaser.

VERIFIED INVESTING PATHS

Investing from Haiti

Official starting points for Haitian residents who want to move their own money into a legitimate investment. Availability, approval, costs and regulations can change.

⚠ Investment and fraud warning: Investments can lose value. Haitian People does not receive deposits, recommend individual investments or guarantee returns. Never send money to a person, WhatsApp number, crypto wallet or “agent.” Open accounts only through the official websites below and verify every instruction inside your own secure account.
✓ HAITI LISTED AS ELIGIBLE

Interactive Brokers

A regulated international brokerage providing access to stocks, exchange-traded funds, bonds and other markets. Its official available-country list includes Haiti. Final approval depends on identity, residence, tax and compliance checks.

How money can reach the accountOpen the brokerage account first. In its secure Client Portal, create a bank-wire deposit notification and obtain instructions for the selected currency. Then ask your Haitian bank to send an international wire from a bank account in the same investor’s name. Bank and correspondent fees may apply.
  • Funding is not completed by simply creating a deposit notice—the investor must instruct their bank.
  • Interactive Brokers generally rejects third-party deposits.
  • Ask the Haitian bank whether it can send the required currency before opening a transfer.
✓ HAITIAN CENTRAL-BANK PRODUCT

BRH Obligations

A local investment product from the Banque de la République d’Haïti, sold to the public through participating commercial banks, investment companies and credit unions. Confirm today’s terms directly with the intermediary before subscribing.

How money can reach the investmentThe BRH brochure describes payment by bank draft, bank transfer or debit from the subscriber’s account held with the financial intermediary. Sogebank provides an official online BRH-obligation subscription form requiring a Sogebank account number.
  • The BRH brochure describes eligibility for individuals and legal entities, subject to exclusions.
  • The brochure lists a minimum issuance amount of 50,000 HTG; verify the current minimum and rate before investing.
  • Repayment is credited through the participating intermediary.

Safer way to move investment money

  1. Confirm the platform still accepts residents of Haiti and read its fees, risks and withdrawal rules.
  2. Create the account only on the official domain and complete identity and tax verification yourself.
  3. Use a bank account bearing the exact same name as the investment account whenever required.
  4. Generate funding instructions inside the secure investment portal—never from an email or message.
  5. Ask your Haitian bank to verify the beneficiary bank, currency, correspondent fees and outbound-wire requirements.
  6. Start with a small test transfer, confirm arrival, keep receipts and verify how withdrawals return to Haiti.

Important: An international brokerage account may involve foreign tax withholding, reporting obligations, currency risk and estate-tax considerations. Speak with a qualified tax or financial professional familiar with Haiti and the country where the investment is held. Links were verified against official provider pages on August 24, 2026.
