Rule · CBJ · 1 Apr 2016
The Central Bank of Jordan requires banks to use the Customer Center screen for accurate inquiries into the status of drawers listed on the returned checks unit, specifically mandating the use of the national ID number rather than just the document number or name to ensure database accuracy. The circular provides a user guide detailing how to complete inquiry fields for drawers identified by Jordanian national ID, entity national ID, personal ID, foreign company number, or unknown identifiers using wildcard searches.
Greetings,
Subsequent to our circular No. (10556/4/2/10) dated 2015/8/25 (attached) regarding some banks issuing checkbooks to certain of their clients despite their inclusion in the returned checks unit list, as these banks conduct inquiries using the document number without inquiring via the name, particularly for non-resident clients, and as it was also observed that some banks do not conduct inquiries accurately via the Central Bank screen before issuing checkbooks, resulting in inaccurate inquiry results that do not match the Central Bank's database.
Therefore, the "Customer Center User Guide" (attached) has been prepared to clarify how to correctly inquire about clients via the Central Bank inquiry screen to obtain results that match our database.
Please accept our highest respect,
Central Bank of Jordan
