Is it legal to send money to Iran?

Direct bank wires and commercial payments to Iran are restricted, but eligible personal remittance requests can be reviewed before a transfer is accepted. We check the transfer purpose, sender details, recipient information, corridor, and amount before sharing payment details.

How the compliance-reviewed process works

We use supported local payment instructions, transfer-purpose review, recipient checks, and documented Rial payout steps to keep each accepted transfer traceable.

Compliance-Reviewed Local Payment and Rial Payout

IranMoneyTransfer.com reviews each eligible personal remittance before payment details are shared. Sender payments are made through supported local routes, transfer purpose and recipient details are checked, and approved Rial payouts are completed through Iranian banking rails. The exact requirements can vary by corridor, amount, transfer purpose, and recipient details. Business, trade, investment, and restricted-party transfers are not supported. This process is designed to keep each accepted transfer traceable from local payment confirmation through final Rial payout.

Local payment instructions

Senders receive supported payment details only after the transfer request is reviewed.

Purpose and recipient checks

Family support, tuition support, medical support, and similar personal needs can be reviewed.

Compliance review

Transfers are screened for purpose, parties, and corridor eligibility before payment details are shared.

What we check before payout

Each transfer is reviewed before release. The exact checks can vary by corridor, amount, and transfer details.

Bank-Level Authentication

No ID uploads required. We securely authenticate sender identities via the originating local bank account used for the deposit. Senders never need to upload personal government IDs directly to our platform.

AML & Sanctions Screening

Reduce prohibited-activity risk. Transfer requests are screened against sanctions and AML criteria before payment details are shared.

Recipient Bank Validation

Ensure Rial reaches the right card. Before Rial domestic reserves are matched and released via Shetab in Iran, recipient details and bank card accounts are checked for accuracy.

Audit & Record Keeping

Complete transaction trail. We retain structured logs of bank payment confirmations, recipient declarations, and matching ledgers to support compliance review and audit readiness.
