Saudi Riyal (SAR)
We have been advised by our correspondent bank in Saudi Arabia that legislation passed prohibits the processing of payments for our Money Service Bureau (MSB) clients. This affects payments in all currencies, not just SAR.
We continue to explore alternatives, but recommend that to avoid delays and protect the experience for our MSB clients that they no longer send payments to Saudi Arabia. Other countries in the region have also recently tightened their approach to processing funds for MSB clients. These countries include Oman, Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar.
Payments sent by Corporates are unaffected.
