Module LeadEmirates Bank

Responsibilities: Mange and Deliver QA actives.
Description: SADAD Payment System (SADAD) was established by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA) to be the national Electronic Bill Presentment and Payment (EBPP) service provider for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
The core mandate for SADAD is to facilitate and streamline bill payment transactions of end consumers through all channels of the Kingdom's Banks.
SAMA has mandated that all banks must accept bill payments at their branches whether the person paying is (banked or un-banked) "i.e.
he/she does not need to be a customer of the bank where the bill is being paid." Pre-SADAD economics of bill payment placed an unduly large burden on banks, it was inefficient and slow.
Banks also recovered a small portion of the cost through keeping the collected money for varying periods of 7-30 days after the bill was paid.
Emirates Bank - Riyadh Branch, is going to implement the SADAD Payments for its customers at the following channels: Internet Banking - Bank Net, Branch - EBA.
