Activity Summary
Restricted for users in Syria: online-banking logins from Syrian addresses are blocked. Asked to review it, VeraBank answered in August 2026 that the block is a decision made by its online banking vendor and not by the bank, without naming the vendor.

Follow-up Sent
The volunteer clarified that no account information was being requested and asked for the question to be routed to compliance, legal, sanctions, risk or information security as a policy matter.
Company Responded
VeraBank replied that because the message arrived through its general contact form it could not share account-specific information, and directed the request to secure online banking or the phone line. It did not address the policy question.
Contacted Company
A community volunteer asked VeraBank to review its published block on online-banking logins from Syria, and to say whether a current legal requirement mandates it or whether it is an internal geographic risk control dating from the former sanctions framework.

Frequently Asked Questions
VeraBank is restricted in Syria. Access may require workarounds or may not be fully functional. We are monitoring the situation.
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.
