Referring to the regulations for issuing and operating credit cards and monthly deduction cards communicated under Circular No. 361000090389 dated 26/6/1436 AH and the principles for protecting bank customers communicated under Circular No. 341000095960 dated 3/8/1434 AH.

In light of the observation that some merchants are photographing credit cards, copying their data, and recording confidential information, the Central Bank emphasizes that all banks operating in the Kingdom must ensure that their contracted merchants providing electronic payment services do not photograph credit cards or copy or record confidential information therein, without prejudice to the terms of the contractual agreement between the bank and the merchant.
