Kabul Digital Bank — Compare Providers in Kabul

Before you sign up

Afghanistan sits outside the IBAN framework: account numbers differ from bank to bank, transfers are addressed through the recipient bank, and the dollarized economy means much day-to-day money movement bypasses formal account rails entirely. Confirm the provider is authorised by Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) or passported into Afghanistan.

Before you sign up

Da Afghanistan Bank is the central bank and licensing authority for banks, money service providers and electronic-money institutions under its financial-sector regulation, including supervision of digital finance activity under the Talawakhi-e-Finance framework. Given the sanctioned environment, confirm a provider's DAB licence and check applicable international sanctions before holding afghani balances with it. Ask what company documents the provider needs for a business registered in Afghanistan.

Before you sign up

Da Afghanistan Bank operates the interbank settlement arrangements for high-value payments, a large share of everyday transactions runs through the licensed mobile-money wallets (Roshan's M-Paisa is the longest-standing example) and hawala-style money service providers remain an important channel, while international transfers are constrained by correspondent-banking and sanctions considerations.

Before you sign up

Check which currencies you can receive, the conversion fee to AFN (Afghan afghani), and the withdrawal fee to a local account in Afghanistan.

Before you sign up

Check whether the platform is registered with Da Afghanistan Bank (DAB) or another authority that oversees crypto in Afghanistan. Crypto is volatile and is usually not covered by deposit protection.
