## About

Merchant payment platform offering point-of-sale systems, card processing, invoicing, and business tools for sellers

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. Square, the merchant payments and point of sale platform owned by Block, does not operate for Syrian users, consistent with its sibling Cash App and other payment peers. A community volunteer contacted the company in July 2026 citing the lifting of US and EU sanctions. The status is inferred from the outreach and has not yet been directly verified from a Syrian connection.

## Community reports

- 2026-07-02 — Contacted Company. A community volunteer emailed Square at privacy@squareup.com requesting that service access be enabled for users in Syria. The email cited the December 2025 US Treasury announcement lifting all Syria sanctions, the OFAC sanctions programs overview, and supporting documentation from unblocksyria.com/resources.

## 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.
