Banking and finance disputes in Saudi Arabia

A dispute with a bank or finance company can feel unequal, but the law sets specialised committees and customer-protection rules for these disputes.

Usus Law Firm represents individuals and companies: complaints to the bank and then to the Saudi Central Bank through «SAMA Cares», claims before the banking and finance dispute committees, and appeals. We also act for businesses in disputes over facilities and guarantees.

Disputes we handle

  • Loans and finance: personal and mortgage finance, instalments and rescheduling.
  • Fees and charges: recovering fees that were not due.
  • Unauthorised transactions: fraud, withdrawals and transfers the customer did not authorise.
  • Credit cards: balances, charges and fees.
  • Facilities and guarantees: credit facilities, letters of guarantee and letters of credit for businesses.
