Hi everyone
I am living and working in the Kingdom.
What is the best bank to use to transfer money back to my family in South Africa.
If I register for internet banking,do I have the option of getting notifications via email when I use internet banking.
Where I will work cellphone signal is of poor quality but I can get internet.

Please advise urgently
Thanks
Wayne

Hello, I've been using Samba for over four years since I've been in KSA. Transfers back to my primary account back in the states as well as my internet payments here are done on my laptop in a snap. I also receive a conformation email of my transactions.

Al-amoudi and Fauri-Al Jazira is also a good option as they give best rates from all others.

Thank you for your reply.
I would like to know..if I transact on my pc\laptop..will I get notifications like logon pin information by email if I subscribe to it.
Usually when I logon to my banking app in South Africa I get the notifications to my cellphone...I need to get it to my computer.
Thanx again.

At Samba, I received a log on pass code via my cell phone.
