Step 1: Open a Syriatel Cash Account (If You Do Not Have One)

If you already have an active Syriatel Cash wallet, skip ahead to Step 2. If not, here is how to get started:

1.1 Check Eligibility

You will need:

• An active Syriatel number registered in your name.
• A valid national identity document.
• Residence in Syria.

1.2 Visit a Syriatel Service Point

Go to any Syriatel service centre or authorised dealer near you. Bring your original ID document — photocopies are not accepted for initial registration.

1.3 Activate Your Wallet

The representative will activate the Syriatel Cash service on your number and help you set a secret PIN. Store this PIN securely — you will need it to authorise every transaction.

1.4 Download the App (Optional)

You can manage everything through the Syriatel mobile app or via USSD short codes directly from any handset. Both methods work equally well for sending to iCashy.

Step 2: Find Your iCashy Deposit Address

2.1 Log In to iCashy

Open the Deposit page after signing in to your iCashy account.

2.2 Select Syriatel Cash

From the list of deposit methods, choose Syriatel Cash. The page will display:

• The merchant number / recipient number assigned to iCashy.
• The minimum deposit amount.
• Any personalised instructions tied to your account.

2.3 Copy the Details Carefully

Copy the merchant number exactly — a single digit error can route funds to the wrong destination and complicate recovery significantly. Use the copy button rather than typing manually.

Security note: Do not share your deposit details with anyone. iCashy will never ask for your Syriatel PIN.

Step 3: Send SYP via Syriatel Cash

You can complete the transfer using either of two methods:

Method A: Via USSD Short Code

1. Dial the Syriatel Cash USSD code from your mobile phone.
2. Select Transfer Funds or Pay Merchant (the label may vary by version).
3. Enter the iCashy merchant number exactly as shown on your deposit page.
4. Enter the amount in Syrian pounds.
5. Confirm by entering your PIN.
6. Note down the reference number shown on the confirmation screen.

Method B: Via the Syriatel Cash App

1. Open the app and log in.
2. Choose Transfer or Pay.
3. Enter the iCashy merchant number.
4. Enter the amount you wish to deposit.
5. Review all details carefully before proceeding.
6. Confirm with your PIN or fingerprint.
7. Save the reference number from the confirmation message.

Step 4: Confirm the Deposit in iCashy

Once the send is successful on the Syriatel side, automated processing begins immediately. Here is what to expect:

Typical Timing

• Most cases: Balance added within a few minutes.
• Peak hours: Up to 30 minutes during high-network-load periods.
• Maximum wait: If your balance has not updated within 60 minutes and you have a Syriatel confirmation message, contact Support.

How to Confirm the Deposit Arrived

• You will receive an in-app notification or browser alert.
• Your balance will update in the top bar.
• The deposit will appear in your transaction history.

Fees and Limits

iCashy does not charge an additional fee for Syriatel Cash deposits. Syriatel itself may apply a service fee according to its own published schedule, which is subject to change.

For current figures:

• Syriatel fees: Check the official Syriatel website or contact their customer support line directly.
• iCashy deposit limits: Displayed in real time on the Deposit page and may vary based on your account verification level.

Display reminder: iCashy uses Old-SYP (×100 multiplier) as the default display mode. Verify that the balance shown in your account matches the amount you sent, accounting for this conversion factor.

Common Errors and How to Fix Them

Error 1: "Merchant number not found"

Cause: A digit was entered incorrectly, or you are using an outdated number. Fix: Return to the Deposit page and copy the number again using the copy button. Do not type it manually.

Error 2: "Insufficient balance"

Cause: Your Syriatel Cash balance is lower than the amount you tried to send plus applicable fees. Fix: Top up your Syriatel wallet first, or reduce the deposit amount.

Error 3: Daily or monthly limit reached

Cause: You have hit the daily or monthly cap set by Syriatel or by iCashy's system. Fix: Wait until midnight for the daily limit to reset, or try an alternative deposit method. See Deposit Methods Compared or try Sham Cash.

Error 4: Syriatel confirmation received but balance not updated

Cause: A temporary processing delay, or a mismatch in the merchant number entered. Fix:

1. Wait 30 minutes.
2. If the issue persists, contact Support with: your Syriatel reference number, the amount sent, and the timestamp.

Error 5: Transaction flagged for review

Cause: Large or repeated deposits within a short window may trigger a routine compliance check. Fix: Avoid sending multiple rapid transactions for a single deposit. Wait for a status message from the team. For faster resolution, contact Support with your reference number.

Tips for a Smooth Deposit

• Check your Syriatel balance before sending: Make sure it covers the deposit amount plus any applicable Syriatel fee.
• Send the right amount the first time: Each send is processed as a separate transaction. Multiple small sends to reach a target amount work fine, but a single correct send is simpler.
• Always keep your reference number: This is your only proof of payment if you need support.
• Avoid VPNs during transfers: Some VPN configurations can interfere with the verification flow.
• Timing matters: If speed is critical, avoid peak periods such as the start of the month or major national events when network load is higher.
