## About

Turkish money transfer service for sending cash payouts and bank transfers worldwide without requiring a bank account

## Activity summary

Restricted for users in Syria. Community testing in May 2026 confirmed that the UPT consumer app loads and accepts a Syrian phone number, but submitting a transaction returns a message that it cannot currently be processed, so registration and money transfers cannot be completed from a Syrian number. No outreach to the company has been made yet.

## 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.
