In the event of any conflict between the Arabic language version of the Terms and a version translated into another language, the Arabic version shall prevail.
Your use of the Digital Wallet requires your agreement to the following terms. Please read them carefully and approve.
2. General Description of Digital Wallet:
The Digital Wallet is a mobile app that allows you to make transactions using a virtual card number that represents a debit, prepaid, or credit card registered on the Mobile Wallet application (referred to as a “Virtual Card Number”). Virtual Card Numbers will be specified and may differ based on whether the app is used within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia or internationally. Your Bank cards will be digitally replicated on smartphone devices, enabling you to conduct payment transactions.
Additional “Payment Instruments, such as Virtual Card Numbers, may be added to the Mobile Wallet in the future. The range of uses can vary, including participation with merchants or transit locations, using an eligible mobile device (which may include an eligible NFC wearable device) and the Mobile Wallet residing on your mobile device.
3. Using Digital Wallet:
(a) Basic Use Requirements: To use the Digital Wallet Application at POS devices with contactless capability, for
E-commerce, and for Apple Pay, you will need an eligible debit card/prepaid card or a credit card/credit prepaid card issued by the Saudi National Bank (referred to as SNB bank or the Bank). The device must meet the Service’s system and compatibility requirements, which may change from time to time. It requires working internet access (in most cases, but not necessary in some cases), and compatible software. Your ability to use the Digital Wallet and its performance may be affected by these factors and any other factors related to use. Ensuring that the requirements to start using the app are met is your responsibility as a User.
(b) Getting Started: You may set up the Digital Wallet using the application that is already downloaded on your mobile device. After providing the requested information and attempting to add a Payment Instrument, we will check if your Payment Instrument is currently supported and if the card itself is eligible to be used with the application. SNB bank cannot be held liable in the case of non-compatibility or issues arising from the use of the application. When adding a Payment Instrument, you will be required to confirm your identity using the mobile number registered at SNB Bank, in addition to any other conditions specified by SNB bank and/or any supervisory authority.
Once you have done so and successfully added the Payment Instrument, the Digital Wallet will store Virtual Card Number(s) representing your payment card’s actual card number. This Virtual Card Number will be used for all in-store and E-Commerce transactions using the Digital Wallet, without any liability to SNB Bank. If your card supports multiple schemes, there will be one Virtual Card Number associated with each scheme. The appearance of this Virtual Card Number on printed receipts may vary based on the agreements and technical specifications of the service referred to earlier in this document.
(c) Usage: Your use of the Digital Wallet Application with a given Payment Instrument is governed by these Terms, as well the applicable terms and privacy policy of SNB Bank in general, which may change according to SNB Bank’s sole discretion or from the issuer of your Payment Instrument. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and
your issuer’s terms, these Terms will govern the relationship between you and the Saudi National Bank with respect to the Digital Wallet. However, other usages will be governed by the Terms of Payment Instrument issued by SNB Bank.
By registering for this service, you acknowledge that you permit the completion of the sale through the Digital Wallet and authorize the Bank to receive information from your Payment Instrument’s issuer to display richly formatted transaction details and your recent transaction history in the application.

If you use the Digital Wallet with an eligible corporate card, you agree that you are doing so with your employer’s authorization and with the ability to bind your employer to these Terms on your own responsibility. You agree that by using debit, prepaid, or credit cards through the Digital Wallet Application, Consumer Device Cardholder Verification
Method (CDCVM) will replace your card PIN code to verify your identity for payment transaction. CDCVMs include those accepted by the Operating System, such as but not limited to face recognition, fingerprints, and patterns. It is your absolute responsibility as a mobile owner to keep these credentials safe from unauthorized users to prevent fraudulent activities on your bank account. Neither the Saudi National Bank, its members, nor its affiliate are responsible of unauthorized payment scenarios made through the Digital Wallet by parties other than the original account owner/ cardholder/mobile owner.
A debit, prepaid, or credit card may be removed or deactivated from the Digital Wallet Application on a given device and/ or become unusable with the Service. Examples of situations where this may occur include, but are not limited to, and without the bank’s responsibility, if: (1) you delete it from the Digital Wallet Application ; (2) you remove it as a payment method from your issuing bank; (3) you erase your mobile device using Device Manager; (4) you delete the Digital Wallet Application; (5) you do not use the Digital Wallet on the device for 24 consecutive months; and/or (6) your Payment Instrument’s issuer or payment network instructs SNB to remove the Payment Instrument from the Digital Wallet.
