It mandates all domestic banks and financial institutions to implement technical, operational, and commercial measures for accepting and processing GCC network card transactions between Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Institutions must also ensure customer awareness of KNET’s linked processing network and guarantee that all POS terminals accept cards bearing the GCC logo in compliance with approved tariffs.
