High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Restricted for users in Syria, verified in February 2026. Community testing found the app loads but blocks account creation for Syrian residents, showing a message that the service is not offered in the country; the bank operates only in the United Kingdom and United States. No outreach to the company has been made yet.
Verified
Community member verified that the Monzo app loads but blocks account creation for Syrian residents. When selecting Syria as country of residence, the app displays "Monzo isn't available in your country just yet — Sorry, you can't open an account as we do not currently offer services in this country...
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Monzo or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
Contact Monzo Support:
Monzo is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Monzo directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
