<figure><img src="/files/BlBhGAnkr21EcrWWeaUx" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Effective from August 9, 2023 04:00 PM UTC+0, our website will be implementing access restrictions for users from countries that are currently under sanctions imposed by the United Nations, the European Union (EU) and the United States (US). These measures are necessary to comply with international laws and regulations and to ensure that we adhere to the legal requirements set forth by the EU and US governments.

The decision to restrict access to users from these sanctioned countries is not taken lightly, but it is essential to maintain our commitment to compliance and uphold the highest standards of legal and regulatory compliance.

If you are a user from Belarus, Myanmar (Burma), Côte D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Cuba, Crimea and Sevastopol, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran, Iraq, Libya, the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic, Mali, Nicaragua, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), Russia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen, Zimbabwe, we understand that this restriction may cause inconvenience. However, it is imperative that we strictly adhere to the applicable laws and regulations to continue operating responsibly and ethically.

For users outside the affected countries, there will be no changes, and you will continue to enjoy uninterrupted access to our website and services.

We want to assure you that we are continuously evaluating our policies and exploring possibilities to expand our services to these regions in the future, as circumstances permit and as international sanctions are amended or lifted.

Sincerely yours,\
The Biswap Team&#x20;
