Activity Summary

Blocked in Syria. The team has pressed Stripe for a review since February 2026, and the company said in September that Syria remains unsupported with no timeline, citing banking-partner support and its expansion strategy alongside sanctions.

Company Responded

Stripe replied that it remains unavailable in Syria, that it could give no timeline for a policy change, and suggested opening an account through an entity in a supported country. It said compliance reviews continue.
