# How to withdraw USDT in Syria and get paid to Sham Cash

> **Quick answer**
> To withdraw USDT in Syria, open **Binance P2P**, choose **[Sell]** and the **Syrian pound (SYP)**, pick a buyer who pays through **Sham Cash** or bank transfer, and add a payout method **in your own name**. Once you've checked for yourself that the money has landed in Sham Cash, tap **[Confirm release]**. **Binance is the main P2P exchange for the Syrian pound**, and it accepts sign-ups and verification from Syrians living in Syria. OKX and Bybit aren't available to Syrians.

## Which exchanges work in Syria?

| Exchange | For Syrians living in Syria | Note |
|---|---|---|
| **Binance** | ✅ Available | Officially launched for Syrians, with most of the Syrian pound P2P ads |
| **OKX** | ⛔ Not available | Doesn't support the Syrian pound on P2P either |
| **Bybit** | ⛔ Not available | Blocks **by nationality**, so even Syrians living abroad are excluded |
| **Bitget** | ✅ Available | Very few Syrian pound ads (bank transfer only) |
| **KuCoin** | ✅ Available | We didn't find a Syrian pound P2P market |
| **MEXC** | ❓ Unclear | Syria isn't named on its general restricted list |

**Bottom line:** to cash out in Syrian pounds, **Binance is practically the only real option**. On 10 October 2026, we counted 48 ads on Binance from buyers paying in Syrian pounds, versus just 6 on Bitget.

## How do I download the Binance app in Syria?

Binance says **the app stores (Google Play and the App Store) aren't supported in Syria yet**. So:
- go **straight to the official Binance website** and download the Android or iOS app from there, or
- use Binance **in your browser** on the website.

> ⚠️ **Only download the app from the official Binance website.** Don't install APK files from Telegram groups or links people send you; fake apps steal accounts.

## How to withdraw USDT to Sham Cash, step by step

### 1. Create an account and verify it

Syrians living in Syria can sign up and get verified with **a valid government ID**: a passport, driver's license or ID card.

### 2. Move your USDT to your Funding wallet

P2P sales only come out of your Funding wallet.

### 3. Open P2P and choose [Sell] and the Syrian pound

**[Trade]** → **[P2P]** → **[Sell]**, then **USDT** and the currency **SYP**.

### 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]**.

> ⚠️ **Never release the crypto because of a screenshot or a message.** Open the app and check for yourself. If you can't confirm it, don't 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?

1. **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.
2. **Buy USDT** in the country you live in.
3. **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.
4. **Your family sells it** for Syrian pounds on P2P and gets paid to a Sham Cash account in their own name.
