4. Pick a buyer who pays through Sham Cash

Filter by the payment method Sham Cash, then check the price, the order limits and the buyer's number of trades.

5. Add a Sham Cash account in your name

Enter the amount and add the details of your own Sham Cash account. Binance's rule: your payout method must be in the same name as your verified account.

6. Check Sham Cash, then tap [Confirm release]

Open the Sham Cash app yourself and make sure the full amount has arrived and the sender's name matches the buyer. Only then tap Confirm release.

Can I send USDT straight to Sham Cash?

The method that works through Binance is selling your USDT on P2P and getting paid in Syrian pounds to Sham Cash, as in the steps above. Don't trust anyone offering a "direct transfer" outside the exchange if they want you to send them the crypto first; that's outside P2P protection.

Syrian living abroad and sending money home?

Choose the exchange based on your nationality and where you live: Bybit blocks Syrian nationals wherever they live. Binance goes by country of residence, so you can use it from the country you live in, if it's available there.
Buy USDT in the country you live in.
Send it to your family's Binance account as a transfer to a Binance user (by email, phone number or Binance ID), with no network to choose.
Your family sells it for Syrian pounds on P2P and gets paid to a Sham Cash account in their own name.
