Based on the Central Bank of Syria's authority to supervise exchange institutions granted under the provisions of the law, and after considering the negative effects and high risks associated with the phenomenon of practicing the exchange profession without a license (including receiving and executing external remittances) and without going through the proper channels to practice the aforementioned profession, particularly regarding the disregard for security factors and effective oversight, and the resulting loss of the rights of clients in light of the proliferation of counterfeit currencies, as well as the shortage of delivered banknotes resulting from the execution of those operations, and within the framework of the necessity for the Central Bank of Syria to fulfill its role in ensuring the necessary protection for citizens' rights and enabling them to receive their remittances, especially external ones, and to execute exchange operations through licensed financial institutions subject to oversight according to the regulations.
The Central Bank of Syria urges citizens to limit their dealings in the field of exchange and external financial remittances to exchange institutions licensed by the Central Bank of Syria, which are registered in the registry of exchange companies and offices in accordance with the regulations, in addition to exchange companies that have obtained a preliminary license under the provisions of decision No. (199/L.E) dated 11/03/2025, as a detailed list will be attached showing the names of all concerned exchange institutions to ensure ease of dealing with them, with a final emphasis that the Central Bank of Syria spares no effort in taking the necessary measures to regulate the exchange sector by closing unlicensed exchange companies and reducing any activities that violate the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, out of concern for the safety of the mentioned sector and to prevent the loss of clients' rights.
