Activity Summary

Blocked in Syria: cards cannot be issued to residents personally or through a company. Halocard's founder says the restriction comes from its issuing bank, and at the team's request took the question to that bank in September 2026. The bank kept its position and gave no reasoning.

Community Updates

Asked to put the question to the issuing bank directly, Halocard's founder did so. The bank kept its position that Syria is not supported and gave no further reasoning; he suspected the card network's own risk policy but would not assert it without confirmation.
