Waited for my card to be delivered for two days. Finally found out that they wanted a copy of my American passport, not Iranian one (this was not noted on the application page). They told me that the appointment confirmation message was automatic, machine generated, and not based upon the acceptance of my application!
Edit: Thanks for the reply Glad you changed your procedures. Will apply again next time, hopefully before too long.

Dear Kamran,

I absolutely understand your frustration and disappointment. We have already changed this process for people who have uploaded Iranian passport scan so they don't face this problem again.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thanks for your feedback.

Unfortunately at the time that you requested your refund, we faced an unexpected problem with our foreign bank account; since Iran is fully under international sanctions, any banking activity related to it will be blocked immediately. I'm definitely sure by the time I'm writing this reply, you have received your refund so I assure you it works otherwise we'd have a load of negative reviews and would not have been able to continue this business for more than two years.

A good alternative instead of carrying a lot of cash. It's safe and simple. Only recharging at the bank was not so easy. The Bank is not so strongly represented. I prefer the mahcard against the cash of money

Excellent service

Excellent service. I stayed in Iran for 2 months so well worth the cost. Not sure I would get it for 2 or 3 week stay.

I was in texting contact with their rep and any questions were answered very promptly.

It works!(

It works!(: I could withdraw cash from atms, pay for items at the bazaar/ restaurants, without having to be overly concerned with carrying huge stacks of cash or being unable to find a money changer.

Would highly recommend this to any traveler intending to visit Iran. (I'm from Singapore, and visited Iran in October 2019)

Total disservice

I'm very sorry to write this review, but I hope that it will help to improve their service that for us was a complete disservice.

I applied for the card 2 weeks prior our arrival, uploading my passport and I immediately specify that we were arriving on a friday. They wrote me back confirming that my document had been processed, that everything was fine and with a link where to confirm date of arrival, time of the appointement and Hotel.
I filled up the form and I also wrote an email asking kindly to be punctual at 9 am at the hotel because late in the morning we were taking a domestic flight to Shiraz. They wrote me back that everything was confirmed and I was really thrilled at the idea of using a card in Iran.

The problem is that they never showed up.

We waited for more than 30 minutes in the lobby of the hotel so we wrote an email asking for info and they simply answered saying that they were very sorry, but due to a problem it was impossibile for them to deliver the card. They had my email, they had my telephone number and nobody had thought of contacting me??? We wasted nearly an hour, and in the end no card??! I was furious. They didn't specify the reason so I don't know if they dind't come because it was a friday, but i find this behavior not at all professional.

Then they contacted me offering to send the card by post to my next destination: I was so willing to try the card that I accepted and they were going to send me the card in Shiraz for Sunday. But they contacted me again saying that on sunday it wasn't possible and it would have been in Yazd on Monday. Ok.
We receveid it on monday afternoon, too late to go to a bank to load it. On tuesday it was the Martyrdom of Imam Reza, all banks were closed. Then we went to Varzaneh and that particular bank doesn't have a branch in Varzaneh, so no loading possible. We arrived in isfahan on thursday at midday, but all banks close at 1 pm on thurdays. On friday everything is closed and so in the end it would have been ridiculous to activate the card for only a few days left.

What is even more ridiculous is that they were willing to ask me a fee of € 19 even after all this and only because I reminded them that when filling the form I had used a discount code they agreed to € 11.

The point is: how can you trust this company? If you are left with money at the end, can you really be sure that someone will come to give you back what is left on the card??!! After my experience I wouldn't be so sure!!!

What I can say after 2 weeks in Iran is that, for sure I would have loaded too much compared to what we have actually spent, so probably in the end it just worked good for us.

Mah card is very useful

Mah card is very useful, I used it during my travel in Iran. It avoids carrying cash and helps managing your budget. The operations are registered on the site almost instantly, making the expenses easy to follow. I strongly. recommend the Mah card.

I was very satisfied with the service provided. The card was at my hostel upon arrival and ready to be charged. Also upon departure a person was at the airport to meet and reimburse me.
The only drawback was, that I could only withdraw 2 Mio Rial per day.
Still I can recommend the Mah Card without hesitation.
