SABB Account blocked due to expiry of Iqama

Dear Mirtaher,

I experienced the same issue with my Iqama a few months ago (June) and I did transfer money from the blocked account to my friend's account and then sent it to India through STC pay.

This is my experince and other people's experience may vary accordingly.

why you did not check that either you can transfer or not.this is simple.
if account is not active how you can make transaction.fist of all renew iqama then update your bank account then you can only do any transaction.

its not possible to any transaction with blocked account.please do not give wrong information

Yeah Saudi2020 is right. You can’t do any transactions after your Bank account blocked

Dear Saudi2020,

We are not jobless ,sitting online and giving wrong information. I put the experience I faced with Riyad bank in June.

If I was to give wrong information, I wouldn't have replied to his question in the first place.

He clearly states in his question that he can check his account and check all the details with the message informing him to renew his Iqama.

blocked means transaction blocked not login blocked.you can login you can see all  your menu as before but when you try for transaction it will not happen.

@MIRTAHER1968

Anybody has recent experience of expired Iqama with SABB account.  For SFB ,I got message that account will be blocked 3 months after expiry. Is it same for SABB ?

@NaeemBhatti  I am also waiting for this to be answered by someone.

If you don't update the iqama, they freeze the account.  This means that you can login as normal but cannot do any transaction.  If you don't update iqama then the block they are referring to is, you can't access it altogether.

can we use ATM or debit card in such case?

No as the cards are linked to the frozen account.

@XTang can one still use mobile wallet to send money

I don't know which wallet you are referring to.  To keep it simple, anything that touches the account in any way, won't work.  It is like not having an account to begin with.
