The client then submits his or her visa card at the cashier. Payment is in this case by the visa card using the operable machine supplied by the bank and which is under the jurisdiction of the cashier. The receipt is issued along with two copies including a discount from the current account of the client with Al Ahli Bank visa card.  A signature from the client is then delivered and is being checked to match the signature in the bank files. The client receives a copy of the receipt.  At the end of the working day, Al Ahli Bank sends the daily statement to the authority with details of transactions and a collective list for the operations is being prepared.  The bank deposits amounts through the visa system on the same day of collection or the following day with a notice to the Central Bank. A daily matching takes place between the Central Bank and Al Ahli.  Guarantees must be take for the special secret codes and delivered to the cashier manager provided the codes must be regularly changed with the shift in place of the cashier through the bank.  The visa card community must be supplied with a computer screen to facilitate the payment process.  (source: Al-Gomhuriya)
