Best Way to Pay in Iran as a Tourist: Why You Need a Tourist Bank Card

How do tourists pay in Iran?

Are you planning a trip to Iran and wondering how to handle your money while traveling? You’re not alone. One of the most common questions among international travelers visiting Iran is:

"Can I use my credit or debit card in Iran?"

Unfortunately, the answer is no—due to international sanctions, popular cards like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express don’t work in Iran. This leaves many travelers relying on cash, which can be risky, inconvenient, and limiting.

But there’s a much better solution: the Tourist Bank Card.

 

💡 What Is a Tourist Bank Card?

A Tourist Bank Card is a prepaid Iranian debit card that you can use across the country. It’s designed exclusively for foreign visitors to make their experience more convenient, safe, and modern.

Once you load it with your preferred amount of foreign currency (USD, EUR, etc.), the card converts it into Iranian Rials, and you can use it just like any local.

 

🚀 Order Online in Less Than 5 Minutes

The best part? You can order your Tourist Card online in just a few minutes—before your trip or after arriving in Iran. With just your passport and basic info, you’ll receive your activated card at the airport, hotel, or designated kiosk.

Fast. Simple. Hassle-free.
