The citizen account program was created to provide financial support to vulnerable Saudi families who are impacted by economic reforms, according to its website.
Financial capability criteria include appraisable assets such as real estate, vehicles, cash, investment portfolios, and other indicators including the number of domestic workers. Each criterion has a specific maximum limit, exceeding which renders the applicant ineligible.
