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 Los Angeles

Los Angeles hosts the largest Iranian community outside Iran — so established that the Westwood Boulevard corridor is officially designated Persian Square, and the city has long been nicknamed 'Tehrangeles'. Senders here typically fund transfers by ACH from any U.S. bank account or by domestic wire for larger amounts. You get a live USD to IRR quote on Telegram in English or Farsi, and the Rial payout reaches your recipient's Shetab card without a trip to a Westwood exchange office.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Westwood's Persian Square is the historic heart of Iranian LA, but transfers are handled fully online: request a USD quote on Telegram, pay by ACH or domestic wire from your U.S. bank, and the Rial payout goes straight to the recipient's Shetab card in Iran.
ACH transfer from any U.S. checking account is the most common route; domestic wires clear faster for larger amounts. USD balances on Wise or Revolut are also accepted. Support confirms the active deposit details once your quote is confirmed — every transfer is reviewed against U.S. personal-remittance rules first.
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 Los Angeles 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.
