Governance & Transparency Commitment

How we verify and screen money transfers to Iran in alignment with international guidelines and security standards.

Screening Process

Prohibited Transfers

Business settlement, commercial trade import/export funding, property acquisition, and transfers to sanctioned legal entities are not allowed. Our platform only facilitates personal, non-commercial family support remittances.
