Sending money to Syria: what to know
Sending money to Syria through banks has been slow and complicated for years, so most families rely on transfer offices and, more and more, on the Sham Cash digital wallet. ScarabPay connects both: you pay from a USDT balance you control, and the money is paid out locally in US dollars.
Because the payout currency is the dollar, your recipient gets exactly the amount you send, with no conversion into Syrian pounds on our side. You see the fee before you confirm, and you can share the transfer receipt with your recipient straight from the app.
