Compliance Note

YMYL Compliance & Safety Commitment

Every Iran remittance request is reviewed before payment details are confirmed.

We review each request to confirm that the transfer is a personal, non-commercial remittance and that the sender, recipient, payment route, and stated purpose are consistent with the corridor requirements.

Reviews are informed by the personal-remittance guidelines of the sending country — U.S. OFAC guidance for family-support transfers, FINTRAC guidance in Canada, AUSTRAC guidance in Australia, and applicable UK/EU rules.

Not supported

Business settlement, commercial import/export, real estate acquisition, and transactions involving sanctioned entities are not eligible for this service.

The Iranian community in London

London is home to the UK's largest Iranian community, spread across west and north-west London — from Kensington's long-established Iranian shops to Ealing and Finchley. Faster Payments makes funding quick: GBP transfers from any UK bank usually arrive within minutes. You confirm a live GBP to IRR quote on Telegram in English or Farsi, and the Rial payout is released to your recipient's Shetab card after compliance review — no exchange-office visit required.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. London's Iranian neighbourhoods have storefront exchanges, but our service is fully online — request a GBP quote on Telegram, pay via Faster Payments from any UK bank, and the recipient receives Rial directly on their Shetab card.
Faster Payments from a UK current account is the most common route and typically confirms in minutes; BACS suits scheduled transfers, and GBP balances on Wise or Revolut are accepted too. Support confirms active deposit details once your quote is confirmed.
Smaller verified personal transfers (between $15 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.
Faster. Physical sarafis need a storefront visit, cash drop-off, or manual bank draft. Online, verified transfers of $15–$1,000 equivalent pay out in under 10 minutes once your local payment clears; larger transfers take 24–72 hours after review.
All requests from London 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.
