US Treasury announces Iran-related sanctions on eight Canadian money-services firms

Treasury's November 6 release and OFAC's action record list eight Canadian money-services businesses under Iran-related sanctions. Treasury alleges they facilitated transactions involving sanctioned Iranian entities and digital assets. The listing action is documented; the alleged conduct, company responses and actual economic effects have not been independently established.

Why it matters

Treasury says covered US-held property is blocked and related US-linked transactions are generally restricted, subject to licences and exemptions.

What the sources establish

Treasury is the issuing authority and claimant for the alleged conduct. Its release and OFAC's record establish the designations; they are one institutional origin. Reuters reports the announcement but supplies no independent transaction audit. No material disagreement about the listing was established; underlying conduct, business responses and measured effects remain unresolved. The separate MEXC action is not included. Midnight UTC represents the official publication date, not the legal action's hour. The Iran marker represents affected economic policy. Business names, addresses, account identifiers and transaction routes are omitted.

Evidence last checked: 6 Nov 2026 22:31 UTC.

6 Nov 2026 22:31 UTC — First published the documented designations, separating administrative action from unverified conduct and effects, with date-only timing and representative mapping.
