Hi, i'm dominic and i'm working here in KSA for about 5 months now. I have an e-remittance ATM card in Al Rajhi bank, my question is, can i already apply for a credit card with this kind of account or does it has to be a savings account? Thanks.

Savings and a year or two of employment are required

With remittance account you can not apply for a credit card. For Credit card you need to open a savings account in any bank you wish and then apply for credit card at same time or later. Bank requirements are very simple, They need a valid Iqama and an employer letter with salary mentioned on it (mostly it is famous by "salary certificate" in this region).
