The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) issued this circular to prohibit all supervised financial institutions—including banks, insurance, financing, credit information, and exchange entities—from using the SAMA logo on their publications or brochures without prior explicit approval. The directive mandates that all branches of these institutions strictly comply with the ban to prevent reputational harm, unauthorized commercial use, or customer misleading. Non-compliant entities will face appropriate regulatory enforcement actions under applicable Saudi systems and regulations.
