The Saudi Ministry of Commerce has emphasized that all commercial establishments must accept both cash and electronic payments. The ministry has encouraged consumers to report any violations of this rule. In a recent statement on its X platform, the ministry clarified that commercial businesses are obligated to accept both paper and coin currency, along with electronic payment methods.
The ministry's warning came in response to a query from a follower concerning private schools that were refusing to process tuition fee payments and other transactions electronically. Instead, these schools insisted on accepting only cash payments. The Ministry of Commerce urged consumers to report any establishments that do not accept the approved payment methods, so that authorities can take appropriate legal action against the violators.
