How we help with frozen bank account and lifting request

  • Evidence and document review

    Our review covers restriction notice, bank correspondence, relevant order reference, identification and requested transaction or source-of-funds records. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

  • Does updating my bank identification lift every Saudi account freeze?

    No. SAMA's account rules distinguish document-expiry freezes from blocking or compulsory deduction requested by competent authorities. Obtain the bank's stated reason and any order reference before choosing a remedy. Updating identification may address an identification-related restriction; it should not be treated as cancelling a judicial or other authorised freezing order. Request the stated basis and reference for the restriction and identify whether it concerns verification, a disputed transaction or an external order. Prepare the records requested through official channels. The route for clarification or lifting depends on who controls the restriction.

How CounselO Legal Helped Prove a Digital Financing Contract Void After Cyber Fraud

This case study concerns a client who discovered a digital financing contract issued in his name for approximately SAR 40,000 after being deceived by individuals impersonating a government entity and claiming that he needed to complete electronic verification steps to update his residency details. CounselO Legal contributed by analysing the documents, organising the evidence, and drafting the claim and submissions, in cooperation with the authorised representative who handled the advocacy. The strategy focused on examining the integrity of the financing procedures rather than limiting the dispute to the use of verification codes. Decision The supervisory report identified deficiencies in notifications, device-data analysis, voucher-code protection, the suspension period, and the response to the client’s report. The committee relied on these findings to establish that the financing contract was void and to treat it as if it had never existed.
