## About

Digital banking app with multi-currency accounts, trading, and global transfers

## Activity summary

Partially blocked in Syria, investigated since January 2026: the site loads but account verification rejects Syrian phone numbers and addresses. The team sent official outreach in March 2026, and the company gave a soft decline, saying it could not confirm or fast-track any change for Syria. No resolution has followed.

## Official timeline

- 2026-03-31 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to dpo@revolut.com. The email noted that Revolut's website loads but account verification blocks Syrian phone numbers and addresses. Cited Mastercard, Nsave, and National Bank of Kuwait as accessible banking peers.

## Community reports

- 2026-03-11 — Declined. Revolut's customer support team responded to the volunteer's request via support@revolut.com with a soft decline. The agent expressed sympathy for the impact on financial access in Syria but stated that they cannot influence or fast-track Revolut's internal decision-making, cannot confirm any potential changes related to Syria, and cannot comment on other providers. The agent committed only to passing the feedback internally for visibility within the relevant team's ongoing reviews, with no commitment as to whether or when any change might happen. The reply is a personalized human response but functionally a decline.
- 2026-02-15 — Investigated. This is a complicated issue. Revolut is a digital banking platform that requires banking licenses and correspondent banking partnerships to operate in each country. To serve Syria, Revolut would need to establish banking relationships, comply with local financial regulations, and integrate with card networks in the region. This requires broader financial infrastructure development in Syria.
- 2026-01-22 — Investigated. While the service is accessible from Syria, Syrian users can not use their phone numbers or addressed to verify their account

## 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.
