The Central Bank of Iran has given permission to exchange shops to buy and sell foreign currency online through the website of the Iran Currency Exchange (ICE).

CBI Governor Ali Salehabadi said buyers can place orders using the ICE platform from today (Saturday) after providing their ID. "They can select any exchange shop and should later go there to get their order," IBENA quoted him as saying.

"The platform is launched to help ease currency trade via the shops," Salehabadi said, adding that the operations via the new platform will be under CBI supervision.

Recently the regulator required licensed currency exchange bureaus to report rates shown on their electronic boards also on a central e-platform accessible to the public.
