Saudi Arabia: Pilgrims can use Hajj smart cards for teller services

Foreign pilgrims can use their Hajj smart cards for teller services in next year’s Hajj. The card will allow pilgrims coming from abroad to transfer money from their bank accounts in their respective countries.

The smart card will enable the pilgrims to use it as a payment card to make purchases in the Kingdom as it will be operational on Saudi Arabia’s Mada network.

The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah launched the first phase of the smart card in December 2020 and it will be activated for the first time covering all pilgrims during the upcoming Hajj season.
