As long as you report that your card has been lost, stolen, or fraudulently used, the most you would be responsible for is $50.00 if your card is used as a PIN-based transaction. If you report the loss or unauthorized use to Salal within 48 hours, or if the transaction in question is signature-based, you will not be held liable for any funds lost. If you suspect that your debit card is lost, stolen, or is being used fraudulently please call 800.562.5515 immediately.
