## Key facts

- **Name variants:** Farhad Moghadamsalimi (primary); Farhad Moghadam Salimi; فرهاد مقدم سلیمی; misspelling seen elsewhere: Farhad Moghaddam Salimi.
- **Today:** co-founder and Senior General Manager of Ege Money, Izmir. Ege Money works in investment (its own capital on Borsa İstanbul) and software (stock-market analysis tools, including the internal AI research system egemoney.ai). It works only with its shareholders' own capital and accepts no capital or funds from any customer or third party. Its only shareholders are Farhad Moghadamsalimi and his wife Marzieh Moghadam Salimi.
- **Ege Money's earlier period (2020 – April 2025):** a fintech and crypto-asset platform (egemoney.com), with real-world-asset tokenisation (RWA), the EGEM token and EgeBlock infrastructure. These services ended in April 2025; on 17 July 2025 the Capital Markets Board of Turkey (SPK) moved the company to its list of companies in liquidation of crypto-asset activity. Ege Money has no crypto-asset activity in Turkey today.
- **Farhad Exchange (Iran, 2004–2019):** began in 2004 as a market-analysis group, became the website farhadexchange.com in 2009, and was one of the early fully automated electronic-currency exchanges in Iran. Activity with any instrument stopped wherever it was declared legally prohibited.
- **efex.pro:** the continuation of Farhad Exchange under a new brand since 2019, run day to day by its team inside Iran. Farhad Moghadamsalimi is one of its shareholders and takes part in major decisions; he receives no income from it. efex.pro operates under the regulations of the Central Bank of Iran with full identity verification (KYC) of its users.
- **WebMoney:** from 2009 to 2019 he was WebMoney's official representative in Iran, solely as a registrar for the WebMoney Personal Passport (identity verification of account holders). The role involved no buying or selling of WebMoney and no transactions for users, and it ended in 2019. WebMoney is prohibited in Iran, Turkey and European countries and is practically unused outside Russia.
