## About

Approval workflow and accounts payable automation for Xero and QuickBooks, with a built-in payment feature called ApprovalMax Pay.

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria: the payment feature, ApprovalMax Pay, is unavailable because the company's payment provider Currencycloud still lists Syria as restricted. ApprovalMax confirmed this in September 2026 and said nothing had changed on its side.

## Community reports

- 2026-09-04 — Declined. ApprovalMax support replied that a further approach was not possible: under current regulatory requirements nothing had changed, and Syria remains restricted within its payment provider Currencycloud, whose own published restricted-countries list it cited. A human reply, not an automated one.
- 2026-09-04 — Follow-up Sent. A community volunteer asked ApprovalMax to raise the Syria restriction with its payment provider Currencycloud again and ask whether that country policy could be reassessed, stressing that no KYC, AML or sanctions screening was being asked to change.

## 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.
