Activity Summary

Useme is blocked for users in Syria. After a volunteer challenged a September 2026 account block, its legal department confirmed in October that sanctions on Syria have been partly lifted, and Useme asked for bank details to check whether it can pay out to Syrian banks.

Community Updates

Useme said its finance department needs the IBAN and SWIFT details of the volunteer's bank account, preferably a euro account, as it checks with its payment provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, Useme is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.

Most likely a company policy that has not caught up with the law. The US sanctions program on Syria ended on 1 July 2025, the EU lifted its economic sanctions in May 2025, and Syria was removed from the US list of State Sponsors of Terrorism in August 2026. Many companies set their Syria restrictions before these changes and have not updated them. This page shows the evidence we have for Useme and any reply from the company.
