Anybody ever used their Monzo card in Iran? Any issues or anything to be aware of? Thanks
International banking is not available in Iran. There are Iranian banks and Iranians commonly use ATMs and credit/debit cards, but international money transfers are not possible. As a result, UK debit and credit cards will not work in Iran. There are no cash machines that accept UK bank cards and it is not usually possible to change travellers’ cheques. You should therefore bring enough hard currency (e.g. US dollars or Euros) with you in cash and change it at officially licensed exchange bureaus. It is illegal to change money on the street.
