Mah Card Reviews 406

Was easy to apply, use and obtain. The card was delivered on time and I had no issues using it anywhere. I did not use the website to add money but PayPal mode was a bit odd. I mean sending various amounts to different people. The rest was perfect.

Iranian banking and payment system were far more advanced than I expected. So don't dare to use cash in Iran. It's not impossible to pay in cash, but it would be much much much easier with a debit card. Mahcard is highly advisable. I highly recommend it to those traveling to Iran. I want to name my agent Reza. He was very kind and supportive and he explained everything patiently to us. He turned all our doubts to certainty.

I recently used MahCard on my trip to Iran and I must say I was impressed with their service. The card was delivered to my hotel within 3 days and their exchange rate was very competitive. The mobile app made it easy to track my transactions and the customer support team was always available to assist me. I also appreciated the option to load my card online using my bank account. Overall, I highly recommend MahCard to anyone planning to visit Iran as it's a smart alternative to carrying cash.

Worst experience I have ever had. Took them close to a week to even send my MahCell device out, once it arrived, there was no SIM card inside so it was useless. Once I got the SIM card the device didn’t work, and the service was horrible, their “tech team” tried to resolve the issue by having me log into the portal myself, but then didn’t respond to any of my messages. Representative Farnoosh was not helpful at all, and frankly quite rude. They ask extremely personal questions such as flight number and things that made me feel so uncomfortable. Would never ever ever go with MahCell or MahCard while in Iran ever again. Get rid of Farnoosh or teach her some basic customer service skills!

1. Withdrawals can only be made from Ayendeh bank ONLY.
2. Limited numbers of ATMs.
3. Frequently ATMs are out of money.
4. ATMs only dispense 2,000,000 Iranian currency equivalent of €2.8 as daily limit. (You need about 4,000,000 per person to dine at a descent restaurant.)
5. When you top up the card, they they convert your currency to local currency with uncompetitive rate, and when you convert the left over balance into your currency… Again using uncompetitive rate.
6. If you plan to go to Iran, which you should….. a very beautiful country with very kind people, bring CASH.

Very useful card.

Sadly, after I filled in the application and confirmed the delivery time with the owner on the phone, he simply didn't show up. I called multiple times and sent messages, all of which were ignored. If I didn't have some kind people who helped me out eventually, I would be seriously screwed for the entire trip. So sadly, this service isn't as reliable as I expected.

I used mahcard during my trip in iran. I ordered it 3 days before my trip and they meet me in my hotel in tehran and driver the card. I paid cash to them and it loaded in my card next day. I used mahcard everywhere. It accepted everywhere and it is very easy to use. I recommend it to all travellers

The company did not bring the card to the hotel at the agreed time, and they did not reply to any e-mails.

P.S. I got the answer below from the company. As there is no way to reply to that answer, I do it here:

You say you could not issue and deliver the card. But at that time I got an e-mail from you saying that you had the card and would deliver it to me the next day (which you never did). Either that, or this was a lie. In any case, replying to any of my several e-mails at that time did not depend on your bank.

After an initial contact from one of you representatives nothing else and i did not obtain my Mah Card. Bad service . Expectes better

Mah Card and Mah Cell were the best choices we could have chosen regarding two of the most important elements while traveling in Iran, that means handling money and staying connected to the internet. Everything was delivered to us in two business days, directly to our camper van just after we crossed the border. Putting money on the card is really easy and the little fee is totally worth it. Having a completely unlimited access to internet with the hotspot without having to think about the restrictions regarding foreign devices was also a game changer. Thank you to the amazing team of Mah Card, we were never disappointed and they always did more than our expectations.

Very happy with Mah card in Iran. The debit card was brought to Hotel as pre-arranged, Euro funds were exchanged and the card was activated. The card was easy to use and widely accepted throughout the country in hotels, restaurants and retail shopping. Upon departure unused funds were remitted to a PayPal account.

Great reliability,great communication and very helpful staff

The service and the offering is super nice. The card works everywhere and when you have the problem to not have enough cash, it’s perfect.

I was just surprised, how much you pay in total for the card. 19€ + Transfer Fee to Top up 7% + Transfer Fee to transfer the Money back 7%. In Total it is a lot of money just for the service.

Left me stranded after appointment was made

I highly recommend Mahcard when you are traveling to Iran and you don't want to have all the cash with you.

Really good customer service.

Very good service.
My card was waiting in the hotel. They loaded the money once i had it in my hands.
Then the card worked just like any other debt card.

Thank you very much!

When I return to Iran I will surely repeat. Very useful and a very good service.

Great but little expensive
