The Saudi Riyal (SAR) is the currency of Saudi Arabia. It is subdivided into 100 halala. In June 1986, the Saudi Riyal was officially pegged to the IMF's Special Drawing Rights (SDRs). In practice, it is fixed to the US Dollar.
Whilst there are no restrictions moving money into or out of Saudi
Arabia, there are some Banks that will not send international payments
in Saudi Riyal. They will insist upon converting Saudi Riyal locally
into another currency, such as US Dollars, before making an
international transfer. This is an expensive option.

Money Transfers into Saudi Arabia
Money Transfers into Saudi Arabia in Saudi Riyals are easy to process. Payments can generally be made within 2 days using an advanced payment provider such as FTT.
Payments will need a SWIFT/BIC code which is a unique code for the bank where the destination account is held. The SWIFT/BIC ID consists of between 8 and 11 capital letters and numbers.
Money Transfers out of Saudi Arabia
Money Transfers out of Saudi Arabia in Saudi Riyals require some careful planning. If you send the payment directly to another bank account which is not denominated in Saudi Riyals then the bank holding the account will charge you several percent to convert the currency. The best way to avoid this charge is to use FTT Currency as we hold a Saudi Riyal account. This way your funds can leave Saudi Arabia as Riyals and be converted at beneficial exchange rates to the currency of your choice.
In addition, payments out of Saudi Arabia in Saudir Riyals will be dependent upon your Bank, as some Banks will not transfer Saudi Riyals internationally. In this case, you may need to change your Bank to one that allows international transfers in Saudi Riyals.
