## About

UAE retail and business bank offering current and savings accounts, credit cards, personal and SME finance, and online and mobile banking.

## Activity summary

Status from Syria not yet established. A volunteer wrote to the bank in September 2026 asking it to reassess its block on Syrian IP addresses, the first outreach, and nobody has tested the site or app from inside the country.

## Community reports

- 2026-09-09 — Contacted Company. The first outreach to RAKBANK: a community volunteer asked contactus@rakbank.ae to reassess the blanket block on Syrian IP addresses, noting it also cuts off UAE-resident customers who travel to Syria temporarily.

## 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.
