Hi everyone,

Any knows about SAMA or Simah? Today I cannot used both my credit card and my atm card. I called the customer service and they told me that SAMA has blocked both my cc and atm card. I asked them why but they said just call them and they will explain why. I tried to call them but they are not available yet. Can somebody explain why they do this?

SIMAH is a credit information agency here in Saudi Arabia. It could be that you have an unsettled loan or bills that you may have not noticed.

Try to call them and verify or you could go to their website and register so you can see if you have loans/bills unpaid.
