## About

Global payment processing platform with fraud prevention for online businesses

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, with evidence added in January 2026. The block is complex because Checkout.com is a payment processor that needs local acquiring-bank relationships and regulatory frameworks in Syria to operate. The team sent official outreach in April 2026 asking the company to review its Syria IP restrictions under the current sanctions framework; no response has been received yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-04-11 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent to dpo@checkout.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions under the current OFAC and BIS framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-15 — Investigated. This is a complicated issue. Checkout.com is a payment processor that requires local acquiring bank relationships and regulatory compliance frameworks in Syria to process transactions. Without correspondent banking infrastructure and card network agreements in the region, Checkout.com cannot onboard Syrian merchants or process Syria-based payments.
- 2026-01-23 — Evidence Added. (evidence: https://api.unblocksyria.com/files/evidence/fofq76dw8gcbws309va6wurp/aeo92qyr5utr0fwsra9ny2sk-nnos6z31narkthbegapxp8z9-screenshot-2026-01-22-232714.png)

## 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. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
