To all banks operating in Palestine
Date: Wednesday, October 05, 2022

Subject: Mechanism for Processing Unupdated Facilities

In order to develop the operational mechanisms of the credit information system and enhance the accuracy and freshness of data, unupdated facilities will be processed as follows:

  1. Banks are required to process unupdated facilities within five working days from the date of approval of the facility file, with the report being extracted through the credit information system/unupdated facilities screen for the bank/institution.
  2. Processing for these facilities will be conducted according to the following scenarios:
    • Adding facilities: Facilities not declared in the most recent facility file will be added through the unupdated facility file upload screen, according to the approved monthly facility file structure.
    • Settling facilities: Expired facilities not declared in the facility file will be settled from the bank's unupdated facilities screen by selecting these facilities and then clicking the settle facilities icon.
    • Modifying facility file number: The bank may modify the facility file number through the bank's unupdated facilities screen by selecting the facility, entering the correct facility file number, and choosing whether the modification applies to the facility's historical data or current data, on a case-by-case basis.
    • Banks are required to implement any other modifications to facility data through the credit information system/financial data modification screen or by contacting the Financial Stability Department.
  3. Banks are required to grant relevant employees access rights through the user system effective from October 16, 2022.

Please note that a training workshop for employees regarding the mechanisms for processing unupdated facilities will be held on Tuesday, October 11, 2022, at 11:00 AM. Accordingly, please submit nominations for attendance to the Financial Stability Department no later than Sunday, October 9, 2022.
