Question 1

Can a UAE company receive a payment from Saudi Arabia through a US Account?

Accepted Answer

An eligible UAE company may be able to receive a supported USD SWIFT payment from an approved Saudi counterparty through a US Account. Availability depends on onboarding, the sender and beneficiary, payment purpose, documents, the banks involved, and transaction review.

Question 2

Can a company send a payment to Saudi Arabia through HEVN?

Accepted Answer

Eligible companies may be able to send supported business payments to approved beneficiaries in Saudi Arabia. HEVN confirms the currency, route, beneficiary, purpose, limits, fees, and required documents before availability is established.

Question 3

Do payments sent from Saudi Arabia require AML review?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cross-border payments are subject to applicable sanctions, AML, transaction-monitoring, and correspondent-bank controls. The institutions involved may request contracts, invoices, source-of-funds evidence, or other information, and the depth and timing of review can vary.

Question 4

How long does a Saudi Arabia-related SWIFT transfer take?

Accepted Answer

An eligible SWIFT transfer may arrive within one to two business days after release, but this is an estimate rather than a guarantee. Timing depends on bank reviews, correspondent banks, payment details, cut-off times, weekends, holidays, and whether additional information is requested.

Question 5

Which currencies can be used after a payment is credited?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the account and available routes, a credited balance may be withdrawn in USD, EUR, AED, USDT, or another supported currency. Availability, conversion, fees, limits, and timing are confirmed for the specific company and destination.

Question 6

Can HEVN send SAR payouts to Saudi bank accounts?

Accepted Answer

An eligible company may be able to send a payout in SAR to an approved Saudi bank account through a supported local route. The route is payout-only and may use an account under the payment provider’s name or a pooled account. Availability, beneficiary type, purpose, documents, FX rate, fees, limits, and timing are confirmed before the payment.
