How to Send Money from Australia to Iran

Before sending money from Australia to Iran, confirm that the provider can support your specific transfer. Check the provider's registration, required identity documents, recipient details, final quoted amount and expected settlement time before paying.

1. Check the Provider and Transfer Availability

Search the provider's business name or ABN in the AUSTRAC Remittance Sector Register. Zarman's company details are listed on our About page so you can compare them with the official register.

Registration alone does not determine whether a particular transaction can proceed. Australia's Iran sanctions framework includes restrictions that may affect financial services and payments. Ask the provider to confirm whether the purpose, parties and payment route can be supported before sending funds.

2. Complete Identity Verification

The provider will explain which identity and supporting documents are required for your circumstances. These may include identity documents, address information, recipient details and information about the purpose or source of funds. Send documents only through the provider's confirmed verification process.

AUSTRAC's customer due diligence guidance covers initial and ongoing checks. You may be asked to update information or provide additional documents after your first transfer.

3. Review the Full Quote

Confirm the amount you pay in AUD, the exchange rate, any fees and the amount the recipient receives. Check whether the receiving amount is expressed in toman or rial. Ask when the quote expires and what happens if payment arrives after that time.

Our AUD to toman rate guide explains how to compare quotes. At Zarman, review the request details and current terms in your account before confirming.

4. Verify the Payment Instructions

Use payment details confirmed through the provider's official channel. Check the account name, amount and payment reference. If instructions change or arrive unexpectedly, contact the provider through a previously verified contact method before paying.

Keep a copy of your quote, payment confirmation and correspondence. Do not send additional funds solely because an unfamiliar caller or message asks you to do so.

5. Track Settlement and Keep Your Receipt

Settlement depends on cleared funds, document checks, banking arrangements and recipient details. Ask for an estimate for your specific transfer and confirm how delays or unsuccessful payments will be handled. Avoid assuming same-day delivery.

Check the final transaction receipt and confirm receipt with the recipient. Contact the provider promptly if the amount or details differ from your agreed quote.
