Translated Document

Referring to the request from banks for companies and institutions whose commercial records have been canceled to retrieve those records in order to collect their financial entitlements, whether through cheques or other means. In continuation of the ongoing coordination between SAMA and the Ministry of Commerce, it is required that all banks do not demand that companies and institutions retrieve canceled commercial records to receive their financial entitlements, with the following considerations:

1. If the beneficiary is a company, the financial entitlement shall be delivered to the authorized representative of the partners, after verifying the names of the partners according to the latest company bylaw using the services provided by the WATHIQ portal.
2. If the beneficiary is an institution, the financial entitlement shall be delivered to its owner, after verifying their identity using the services provided by the WATHIQ portal.
