Frequently Asked Questions
While many diaspora members search for physical 'sarafi in Dubai' (such as Westwood in Los Angeles or North York in Toronto), our service operates entirely online. This allows us to keep operational costs low and offer you significantly better exchange rates than traditional physical storefronts, while facilitating fully compliant transfers.
To fund your transfer, you can use local rails in your country such as UAE local bank transfer, Wise/Revolut AED balance, cash deposit options. These details are verified and provided by support once your quote is locked on WhatsApp.
Smaller verified personal transfers (between $100 and $1,000 equivalent) are typically paid out to Iranian Shetab bank accounts in under 10 minutes once local funding is verified. Larger transactions require manual compliance review and can take 24 to 72 hours.
All requests from Dubai undergo structured sanctions screening. We authenticate sender details via the originating bank transfer account (no passport uploads required on-site) and check recipient bank credentials in Iran before Rial payout.
