Progress Timeline
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
Escalated
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.
The entries that follow are part of one exchange.
Company Responded
Halocard's founder replied that Syria is still listed as a restricted country by its issuing bank, so the card cannot be offered to residents personally or through a company entity, and that this is not something Halocard controls.
Contacted Company
A community volunteer asked Halocard to review the Syria entry on its business accounts guidance, which attributes the restriction to card issuer and banking partners, and to say whether an issuer, a card network or a regulator currently requires it.

Sanctions are lifted. Most companies just haven't updated their policies. A word from inside Halocard can change that.
Tips for advocating
- Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams.
- Reference the lifted sanctions.
