You can view account statements dating back to the day account was opened and up to 5 years of Credit Card and Loans statements through Online Banking. However, you can always visit the nearest branch to get Accounts and Credit Cards statements that are greater than the mentioned period.
When transferring funds, you would typically transfer from one of your ABK accounts to another account that could be another account at ABK, a Local account, or an International account. The recipient account is called a Beneficiary account. In order for you to conduct online transfers, you will first need to create and activate a Beneficiary.
There is no limit for the number of Beneficiaries you can create. However, we suggest that you label them distinctively to avoid confusing multiple benefactors with each other.
To create a new Beneficiary, simply click on the 'Add Beneficiary' option under the 'My Beneficiaries' menu. Please ensure you enter all the marked fields with the Beneficiary details and select the correct bank branch (this can be selected correctly by using the BIC / Clearing Code). In the last screen, the system will ask you for a one-time password (OTP) that will be sent to your registered mobile number via SMS message. Enter in the digits in the OTP field to activate the beneficiary. In the events that you did not receive the SMS message, contact our Ahlan Ahli Customer Service at 1899899 or +965 22907222 for international calls and request to update your information.
