Cash card to help immigrants transfer up to ?5.6bn a year out of Britain - Ali Sarikhani

Immigrants are being offered cash cards by a Labour donor hoping to profit from a rush by workers to transfer billions of pounds out of the UK.

Iranian-born Ali Sarikhani, a friend of Tessa Jowell's husband David Mills, has set up the Tuxedo Blue Diamond card for people without bank accounts who have money to send abroad to friends or family.

Cash 'loaded' on to the cards will be accessible to duplicate cardholders in 900 locations across 100 countries worldwide.

But the launch of the scheme raises fresh doubts over the Government's claims that immigration boosts the country's gross domestic product by £4billion a year.

An annual £5.6billion worth of funds is transferred by immigrants out of the country, according to figures provided by the Department For International Development.

Andrew Green, of MigrationWatch UK, said: "The main beneficiaries are the immigrants, who are able to send home about £10million a day, not the host nation. It is a loss when that money leaves and we have to buy foreign capital to make it up. Freedom of movement of capital is right and proper but it is a loss that is often overlooked."

The new cards will be sold on buses and even ferries as migrants enter the country looking for work. Tuxedo is investing £5.1million in the scheme, advertising across a range of ethnic TV channels and in publications across Asia and Eastern Europe as it targets the lucrative immigrant market.

Migrants will be able to load their cards with up to £2,500 and then pay bills with the card, withdraw cash, send up to £200 a day abroad or order duplicate cards to be used for withdrawals by friends and family from cash machines abroad.

To set up a Tuxedo card, a UK-based customer need only provide a photocopy of a passport of any nationality. No bank account or credit check is required.

Mr Ali Sarikhani and his fellow directors hope to make money by selling the cash cards for £9.95 and charging up to £1.50 in the UK for cash machine withdrawals and £2.25 abroad. Purchases with the card have a 2.95 per cent fee.

The 61-year-old businessman is a non-executive chairman of Tuxedo Money Solutions and donated £10,000 to Labour in 2001. A trained chartered accountant, he made his fortune in tax consultancy.

He and Tuxedo's chief executive officer, Andre Bischoff, were also involved in a successful buyout of Alpha Telecom, which has a lucrative share in the pre-paid telephone market favoured by immigrant workers in the UK.

Mr Ali Sarikhani became a British citizen at the age of 23 and lives in a mansion close to Hampstead Heath in North London.

He became friends with Mr Mills when his company Edasco acquired CMM Corporate Services which was then run by the Culture Secretary's husband.

The Iran Heritage Foundation is a non-political UK registered charity, with the mission to promote and preserve the history, languages and cultures of Iran and the Persians. The objectives of the Foundation are pursued by organising, on a worldwide basis, diverse activities of cultural or scholarly merit. IHF programmes include academic research, publishing and university fellowships - currently at Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrews universities.

IHF initiates a wide range of activities intended to facilitate the study of Iran's history and culture, both among academics and the wider community. This is supported by multi-disciplinary events that present wide aspects of Persian culture, both ancient and modern. In the modern arena, IHF has promoted Iranian cinema, theatre, dance and contemporary art. Historic Iran has also been most successfully represented, for example, through the British Museum’s exhibition on the Achaemenids - Forgotten Empire: the World of Ancient Persia.

By forging ties with most of the major museums and universities around the world, the Foundation has succeeded in bringing the highest level of expertise to its programmes, making IHF the partner of choice for many of these institutions. IHF’s international reach has included programmes in Armenia, Austria, Canada, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the United States and Britain. See the listing of some past programmes.

Our main source of funding is the annual contribution pledged by our Trustees and Patrons, supplemented by fund-raising events, such as our Norouz Gala in London.
