Must read: Section 560.550 Certain noncommercial, personal remittances to or from Iran authorized
According to the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations by the US Treasury:
“(a) In cases in which the transfer involves a noncommercial, personal remittance, the transfer of funds to or from Iran or for or on behalf of an individual ordinarily resident in Iran, other than an individual whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to § 560.211, is authorized, provided that the transfer is processed by a United States depository institution or a United States registered broker or dealer in securities and not by any other U.S. person; does not involve debiting or crediting an Iranian account; and is not by, to, or through the Government of Iran, as defined in § 560.304.
(b) Noncommercial, personal remittances do not include charitable donations to or for the benefit of an entity or funds transfers for use in supporting or operating a business, including a family-owned enterprise.”
This means that for the average sender, getting permission to send money to Iran is going to be difficult, but not impossible. By consulting legal help, it is possible to appeal to the US Treasury and get permission to send remittances to family and loved onan — just be prepared for a potentially lengthy process.
Hey, is there any legal way to transfer money from Tehran to Sweden?
Hi Confused,
Thanks for your inquiry.
In the most legal way, bank to bank transfer should be the first option to send or transfer money from Tehran to Sweden. However, please note of the significant cost or fees associated with the transfer, not mentioning also the mark-up on currency exchange rates. While we can’t suggest or recommend a specific service, for sure there are also trusted and regulated companies in Tehran that provide excellent service and help you save. Best to compare your bank’s rates to these trusted peer-to-peer money transfer services before sending.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Bella
I can send money from Nigeria to iran
Hi Matthew,
Thanks for contacting Finder.
Unfortunately due to the restrictions in place, it is very difficult to send money to Iran. Well-established money transfer services such as Western Union and Moneygram don’t have a presence in Iran.
You may want to speak with your bank about your options, though expensive fees are likely to apply.
Hope this helps.
Please feel free to contact us at any time if any other questions arise.
All the best,
Best Regards,
Faye

Can you receive money from Iran to USA through Western union or moneygram, or any through bank transfer
Hi Max,
Thanks for reaching out to finder.
As of this time, Western Union or Moneygram do not offer their service to Iran. You may check other banks or money transfer services in Iran that will allow you to transfer money to the US.
Hope this clarifies! Don’t hesitate to message us back if you have more questions.
