    Translated Document

    Further to the Saudi Central Bank's (SAMA) letter No. 381000060893 dated 07/06/1438H regarding the standardization of notification elements sent to bank customers for Mada card transactions, and in line with SAMA's commitment to enhancing customer awareness through notification messages for transactions on their accounts, memberships, and electronic wallets:

    Attached is an update to the notification templates, which includes adding essential elements to the text notifications according to the procedures outlined in Table No. (1) and Table No. (2) at a minimum. Therefore, financial institutions are required to send notification messages for all financial transactions and apply the requirements as specified in the attached tables within 60 days from the date of this notice, and to provide SAMA with an implementation plan within two weeks. Please be aware that legal actions will be taken if the required procedures are not adhered to within the specified time frame.
