In light of the recent increase in the number of messages and invitations related the collection of funds, donations and charities. We would like to inform you that the Kingdoms regulations prohibit the collection of donations without an approval from the authorities.
Donations and charitable contributions are only permitted through channels and authorized entities within the Kingdom that support the donation process in an easy, safe and reliable way.
Those wishing to make a donation outside the Kingdom are allowed to make transfers through the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, which is the only entity authorized to receive and send donations outside the Kingdom. This restriction applies to donations made internationally over the internet websites (e.g. crowdfunding or international charitable organizations) via wire transfers, debit cards, credit cards or pre-paid cards.
Violating this exposes the donor and the bank to legal accountability.
