Platinum, Platinum Plus, Mazeed and Infinite Credit Cards:
Example 1 (Month 1):
- Retail purchases worth SAR 10,000 on March 10th
- Cash withdrawal of SAR 6,000 on 1st April
It is assumed that no previous balance is carried forward from the March 7th statement, the Cardholder will receive his April 7th statement detailing total transactions of SAR 16,075 (principal balance + cash advance fee of SAR 75 for every cash withdrawal).
The Cardholder needs to make a payment towards the outstanding within 23 days from the statement date (due date: April 30th). The payment can range between 5% and 100% of the outstanding amount.
Total interest charges for cash advance billed in the statement of April 7th will be SAR 6,075 × 33% × 7 days / 360 days* = SAR 38.98

- Retail transaction since date of payment (April 29th) until statement issuance date (May 7th): SAR 10,000 × 33% × 9 days / 360 days** = SAR 82.50

Example of Foreign Currency Transaction Fee calculation
Foreign transaction amount of Currency A: 1,000
- Assuming a conversions rate from currency A to Saudi Riyal: 3.75
- Amount in Saudi Riyal: SAR 1,000 × 3.75 = SAR 3,750
- Foreign currency transaction fees: SAR 3,750 × 2.50% = SAR 93.75
- VAT on transaction fees: SAR 93.75 × 15% = SAR 14.06
- Total transaction payment in Saudi Riyal: SAR 3,750 + SAR 93.75 + SAR 14.06 = SAR 3,857.81
- The conversion from foreign currency to Saudi Riyal is done by the respective schemes that are VISA/MasterCard as per their prevailing rates for the day
Foreign ATM cash advance transaction amount of Currency A: 1,000
- Assuming a conversions rate from currency A to Saudi Riyal: 3.75

- Foreign currency transaction fees: SAR 3,750 × 2.50% = SAR 93.75
- VAT on transaction fees: SAR 93.75 × 15% = SAR 14.06
- Cash Advance Fee in Saudi Riyals: SAR 75 + VAT SAR 11.25 = SAR 86.25
- Total transaction payment in Saudi Riyal: SAR 3,750 + SAR 93.75 + SAR 14.06 + SAR 86.25 = SAR 3,944.06
