Al Rajhi Bank payment alerts, explained
Each Al Rajhi Bank text message packs the amount, who you paid and which card or account into one line. Here is what each part means, and how to keep a running total without typing anything.

What the alert looks like
Format example with made-up names and numbers. Your own alerts may be worded a little differently.
| Part | In this alert | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | Money out | Money out or money in. The word that decides it here: “شراء” |
| Amount | SAR 125.50 | What moved, in the currency of the charge. |
| Paid to / from | الدانوب | The shop or person. Card payments often show the company's registered name or the payment processor, not the shop sign. |
| Part | In this alert | What it means |

Alerts that are not spending
Al Rajhi Bank also sends codes, declines, reminders and offers. None of them moved money, so a tracker that counts every alert with an amount in it gets your total wrong. These are skipped:
Track Al Rajhi Bank spending automatically
Savyit reads Al Rajhi Bank SMS alerts on your Android phone, the way this page reads the example: the amount, the payee and the card, sorted into a category, with codes, declines and reminders left out. There is no bank login and no account, and the alert text is never uploaded.
Paste one of your own alerts into the decoder
It runs in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent anywhere.
FAQ
Why does my Al Rajhi Bank alert show a different name from the shop?
Card networks pass on the merchant's registered company name, which is often cut short or belongs to a payment processor (for example Square, Stripe or PayPal). Savyit learns these names: once you rename one, it's renamed for every later payment.
Does a declined Al Rajhi Bank payment count as spending?
No. A decline, a security code or a payment reminder didn't move any money. Savyit skips them, and so does the decoder on this site.
Can an app read Al Rajhi Bank alerts without my bank login?
Yes. Savyit reads the SMS Al Rajhi Bank already sends to your Android phone. It never connects to Al Rajhi Bank and never asks for your password.
Other banks in Saudi Arabia
Savyit is not affiliated with Al Rajhi Bank. Bank names are used only to describe their alerts. Formats change; if yours looks different, the decoder shows how it's read.
