  • M-Banking in UAE, is it regulated?

There is no time for you to go to DEWA office or other payment outlets and you are betting whether you have time to pay the bill online from your desktop computer. In fact the only time you have to think about this house chore is the time when you are alone in the car driving to the office. However with the advent of mobile banking, the bill can be paid by pressing a few buttons on your mobile phone and by the time you reach the office, you are free to concentrate on other matters.

  • Commercial Rules for Bankruptcy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

    The laws on bankruptcy in Saudi Arabia are not extensive nor has their application been well tested. Saudi law dealing with bankruptcy is not very detailed and in broad terms it is left to the parties to make an agreement with each other or Shari'ah principles are applied and the relevant court will decide the matter.
