Right there in the eligibility requirements for creating projects:
"Be a permanent US resident and at least 18 years of age with a Social Security Number (or EIN), a US bank account, US address, US state-issued ID (driver’s license), and major US credit or debit card."
It seems to be tied to Amazon Payments. I didn't know this myself until recently when the guys making the documentary told me (they had to jump through some hoops because they're German).
