## About

International money transfer app for fast and affordable remittances worldwide

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community reports from January and February 2026 confirmed that the Remitly website loads fully from inside Syria, but Syria is not listed as a transfer destination, so the core money transfer service is unavailable. Unblocking depends on establishing banking channels into Syria. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-16 — Verified. Community member verified that the Remitly website loads fully from Syria (Aleppo, MTN 4G+). The homepage is accessible with sign-up functionality, country selection form, and featured destinations visible. However, Syria is not available as a transfer destination — the "Sending to" dropdown does not include Syria. The website is not blocked but the core money transfer service remains unavailable for Syria. Status updated from blocked to restricted.

- 2026-02-15 — Investigated. This is a complicated issue. Remitly is a money transfer service that requires local banking partnerships or agent networks in the destination country to deliver funds. Without correspondent banking relationships or disbursement partners in Syria, Remitly cannot offer transfers to the country. Unblocking depends on establishing financial infrastructure and banking channels into Syria.
- 2026-01-26 — Verified. Community report indicates Syria is not listed among Remitly's destination countries. Users cannot send money transfers to Syria through the platform.

## 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.
