Banking Restrictions Not Restricted to Foreigners

New banking rules banning transactions of "unidentified" customers are not restricted to foreigners or refugees in Iran, and applies all customers whose ID is not registered with banks, the Coordination Council of Banks said in a statement.
The council is a body in charge of coordinating banking activity of private and state banks.
The statement was released after some media outlets said Afghan refugees living in Iran had their debit cards suspended by some banks. The Central Bank of Iran last week announced tougher restrictions on bank transactions.
