Hi guys

I am going to Iran next month for a work project for 9 month or maybe more.

I was wondering how I can use my own credit card in Iran. Also anybody knows how I can send money to my family in Italy ?


Thanks for your answers

Iran just in 2016 started using credit cards, so you will not really find much use there. You will have to arrange a bank account and money transfers

Dear Agapito
I was in Iran last 6 month ago and just want to tell you that's a nice country with nice people.
In Iran you aren't able to use your credit card, you can use only one local system named "Shetab"
I found a Financial company in Iran they could withdraw money from my VISA card and gave cash to me.
This is Iranicard. They also provide MasterCard and VISA card.
They can transfer money for you to your family also.
