asslam o allaikum all . 

I am living in Saudi Arabia since from 2011, recently i started trading of Cryptocurrency in P2P mode . i used my personal bank accounts for this purpose . i used these accounts for sending & receiving amount from different buyers & sellers with in Saudi Arabia . now my bank account is closed permanently by the bank , due to lot of transactions. Now I have stop this freelance business. During my visit in Bank he told me that your account is closed because you open account for Salary transfer but you are using this for your business. So i think may be there is any other type for this . please suggest me.   

I don't wants to close this online freelance activity . 

 please suggest me any Saudi Bank that can accept maximum transactions limits . & amount up to 1 million (as transactions) per month . 

or please suggest me any registration by Saudi Govt to start online p2p trading of Digital Currency.  

Thank you

Stop that at once. You will go to jail for this. You can not do any business here while living on a working visa.

You were lucky that the bank did not alert the authorities.

There is no bank with accept such amount in transfer in or out unless you have registered company 

The bank will not accept that due to security 

The best thing to do is to find a good Saudi man and open up small business with based on that you will have to receive and send money without any resistance 

Take advice from any banker as well with give you proper feedback and decision

 It just doesn't matter.

You cannot do this while having a working visa.

Now, it is upto you, keep going and you will find yourself in jail eventually. 

What you can do?

Use the bank of your home country.

SAMA hasn’t yet created a clear legal framework for companies to operate crypto exchanges or services, so just switch to a business account. After that, look into https://solana-scripts.com/pumpfun-bundler. This tool helps track trades and reduce bank issues with a clear, compliant system.
