What happens if my payout fails?
If your payout fails because of invalid or incomplete information, your funds will be returned to your KAST balance automatically once the payment is reversed. You’ll be notified once the refund is completed.
Can I send SAR from anywhere?
Yes. You can send SAR from any country supported by KAST, as long as the recipient’s bank account accepts SAR transfers. This makes it easy to send or receive funds across borders in local currency.
