The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) is seeking public feedback on the draft of the Banking Tariff Guide through the public consultation platform “Istitlaa”.

 

SAMA stated that this project aims to enable and support individual customers and SMEs to easily access banking services and products.

 

This will be achieved by establishing rules that banks must follow when finalizing fees, setting a maximum limit for fees on basic services for individual customers, and defining standards for all banking services and products provided to individuals and corporate clients.

 

Feedback and comments on the draft Banking Tariff Guide must be submitted within 15 days of this announcement to assess their relevance in finalizing the draft.
