Please note that, due to UK banking regulations, we cannot send money to countries, administrations or persons subject to financial sanctions or ‘regimes’. We may thus have to reject certain applications for this reason, regardless of the scientific quality of the proposal. Gov.uk provides information on financial sanctions imposed by the UK government. Please note our bankers may impose additional restrictions in addition to the countries on this list.
