## About

Global fintech platform for business banking, payments, and international money transfers

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, first reported in February 2026, as the platform lists Syria as unsupported for accounts and transfers. A community volunteer contacted the company in February, which declined to restore access, citing that companies from Syria cannot apply and transfers to Syrian banks are unsupported, while leaving the door open for the future. The team sent an official follow-up in March 2026; access remains blocked.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Follow-up Sent. Official follow-up to privacy@airwallex.com responding to February 2026 decline. Addressed stated compliance and SWIFT concerns. Mastercard, Nsave accessible. Revolut, Visa, N26 partially restored.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-25 — Declined. Airwallex's support team responded via a human agent (not the AI assistant) at support@airwallex.com, stating that companies from Syria cannot apply for an Airwallex account and that transfers to Syrian bank accounts are not supported at this time. The agent apologized for the delay and noted that "as we continue to grow and expand, we have every hope and intention to onboard entities from all around the world." The ticket was closed. This is a human response that effectively declines the request for now, while leaving the door open for future reconsideration as Airwallex expands its supported regions.
- 2026-02-22 — Company Responded. Airwallex's AI Assistant responded to the unblocking request, confirming that Syria is listed as "Not Supported" for SWIFT payouts. The response stated that supported countries are determined by multiple factors beyond sanctions, including compliance, legal, and operational considerations, and that the AI could not update the list directly. It recommended sharing feedback through regular Airwallex channels. The response appears to be an automated AI bot reply rather than a human review.
- 2026-02-22 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer contacted Airwallex at support@airwallex.com requesting that Syria be removed from the list of unsupported countries for SWIFT payouts. The email noted that international sanctions on Syria have been lifted and asked Airwallex to review its compliance policies accordingly.
- 2026-02-16 — Investigated. Community report submitted from Saudi Arabia (iPhone/Brave, timezone Asia/Riyadh). Submitter reports Airwallex is blocked for Syrian users. No screenshot evidence provided. Airwallex is an Australian fintech known for sanctions compliance restrictions. Blocking status needs independent verification from inside Syria.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
