Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria: registration, platform access and payments are restricted under SERVA's sanctions compliance policy. In September 2026 the company replied that it would reconsider and exclude Syria from that list in the near future. The change has not been implemented yet.
Community Updates
Follow-up Sent
The volunteer thanked SERVA and asked to be told once the policy change is actually implemented, so it can be tested from Syria and the public status updated.
The entries that follow are part of one exchange.
Commitment Made
SERVA replied that it would reconsider the restriction and exclude Syria from its sanctions list in the near future.
Follow-up Sent
With no reply, the volunteer asked whether the legal or compliance team had been able to review the request, or whether there was any update on the current basis for the restriction.
Contacted Company
A community volunteer asked SERVA to review the Syria entry in its sanctions compliance policy, which restricts registration, platform access and payments, and to say whether it rests on a current UK, EU, US or UN requirement, a payment provider, or internal risk policy.
