It is common for pilgrims to use banking services while on Hajj to manage their finances and perform transactions. Here are some banking options that are available to pilgrims during Hajj:

1. Cash: The most common form of currency used in Saudi Arabia is the Saudi Riyal (SAR), and pilgrims are advised to carry some cash with them for day-to-day expenses. It is also recommended to keep cash in a secure place, such as a money belt or a pouch worn under clothing.

2. Credit/Debit Cards: Major credit and debit cards are widely accepted in Saudi Arabia, and most ATMs can be used to withdraw cash. However, it is recommended to inform one’s bank before traveling to avoid any issues with card transactions or ATM withdrawals.

3. Mobile Banking: Many banks offer mobile banking services that allow customers to manage their accounts and perform transactions through their smartphones. Pilgrims can download their bank’s mobile app and use it to transfer money, check balances, and pay bills.

4. Exchange Bureaus: Exchange bureaus are widely available in Saudi Arabia, and pilgrims can exchange their currency for SAR at these bureaus. However, it is recommended to compare exchange rates and fees before making a transaction.

It is important to note that some banking services may not be available in all areas of Saudi Arabia, especially in remote or rural locations. Pilgrims are advised to plan ahead and carry sufficient funds for their needs, and to keep their money and financial information secure at all times.
