Blocked in Syria. Community investigation in February 2026 noted that Venmo is a US-only peer-to-peer payment service owned by PayPal that requires a US bank account and does not operate internationally. The team named Venmo alongside PayPal in a corporate compliance follow-up to the company in March 2026; no resolution yet.
Follow-up Sent
Official follow-up email sent from corporateaffairs@unblocksyria.com to executiveoffice@paypal.com. Venmo was explicitly named alongside PayPal as a blocked PayPal-owned product. The email requested a single corporate-level compliance review.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Venmo or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.

No, Venmo is currently blocked in Syria. Users in Syria cannot access this service. We are tracking the situation and advocating for change.
Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
You can help by voting on this page to show demand, sharing it on social media, and contacting Venmo directly to request they restore access for Syrian users.
