The credit limit equal to the Aqsat transaction would be blocked initially. The remaining balance of the

your credit limit would be blocked for SAR 6,000 and as and when you are repaying your monthly
instalment of SAR 1,000, the blocked limit would be released. Once you repay 3 instalments, you would
have SAR 7,000 available limit and once you settle the entire Aqsat outstanding balance, you would have
your entire credit limit of SAR 10,000.
