We would like to note that SAMA receives from time to time from the police departments in the Kingdom reports that some of the bank's customers were robbed while leaving the branch as a result of carrying cash. 

Due to the seriousness of such acts and their serious consequences, whether on the bank's customers themselves while leaving the bank branch or damaging the branch itself, harming the bank's reputation and confusing the security authorities, the bank must warn its customers not to carry cash and leave the branch, which may provoke the weak souls to carry out criminal acts, by placing indicative signs inside the branch and in a prominent place at the money changers to urge customers to use the available banking services, which are to deposit or transfer amounts in their accounts or to other accounts or issuing bank checks against them in order to avoid carrying cash with them, and we hope to inform us of what will be done in this regard.
