Tempbank

Tempbank is currently engaging in business with the Iranian and Syrian regimes, opening correspondent accounts for the “Central bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran, State export bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and other Iran banks.” Tempbank asserts, “[a]mid Russian banks we are, de facto, the only one to operate directly with the Central bank of Syria performing settlements with Syrian partners to carry out state objectives on developing cooperation with the Syrian Arab Republic.” (Tempbank Website, “PJSC MJSB ‘Tempbank’ has established cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Syrian Arab Republic”).

Tempbank has reportedly opened a “branch in Qeshm [Iran] in order to facilitate economic and trade ties between Iran and Russia.” (Tehran Times, “Russian bank to establish branch in Iran’s Qeshm Island,” 4/2/2016).
