Leading financial institutions in Bahrain have temporarily increased transaction limits and waived service fees to boost consumer liquidity and encourage digital payments amid prevailing conditions.
The move, effective immediately, sees daily ATM withdrawal limits raised to BD3,000, while daily point of sale (POS) and e-commerce transaction ceilings have been hiked to BD6,000.
To further ease credit access, lenders have suspended fees for credit limit increases.
Customers can access these waivers by applying through integrated mobile banking platforms.
The measures, described by industry sources as a commitment to maintaining market stability, will remain in effect until further notice.
