  • SAR 60,000 on card (12-month installment = SAR 5,000/month)
  • SAR 40,000 direct bank transfer

Scenario 2: Card + Bank Financing

SAR 200,000 car:

  • SAR 100,000 on card (24-month installment = SAR 4,167/month)
  • SAR 100,000 bank financing 60 months = ~SAR 1,750/month
  • Monthly total: ~SAR 5,917 (24 months), then SAR 1,750 (remaining 36 months)

Scenario 3: Card + Tamara

7. The Difference Between Direct Payment and Bank Installment via Amwal

ItemDirect PaymentBank Installment via Amwal
When you pay?All at onceIn monthly installments
Points and rewardsYou get themYou get them
Card limit impactDeducted and gradually returnedReserved fully, gradually freed
Interest0%0%
7-day return policyAppliesComplex (requires installment cancellation)

When to choose installments over direct payment? If you don’t want to use your full card limit at once, or want to keep liquidity for other expenses.

8. Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake 1: Transferring a Deposit Before Choosing the Car

The problem: Some people transfer deposits before selecting the car, then have to request a refund if they change their mind.

The fix: Choose the car first, then pay through Carly’s official gateway.

Mistake 2: Using a Card Near Expiry

The problem: If your card expires within 6 months, the bank may reject long installments (24 months).

The fix: Renew the card before installment, or choose a short term (3-6 months).

Mistake 3: Not Calculating Sufficient Limit

The problem: Card limit is SAR 80,000, car is SAR 75,000, but you forgot the 15% VAT (ZATCA).

The fix: The advertised price on Carly includes VAT, so you don’t need to recalculate. But verify your card limit.

Mistake 4: Not Asking the Sales Rep About Hybrid Payment

The problem: If your card limit doesn’t cover the car, some assume they can’t benefit.

The fix: Request Hybrid Payment, benefit from the card on part + other methods for the rest.

Mistake 5: Late Installment Payments

The problem: Late installments leave a negative mark on SIMAH and affect your credit rating.

The fix: Activate auto-debit from your account, and set a reminder a week before each installment.

9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do I install a car payment with my credit card on Carly?

5 steps: pick the car on HalaCarly.com, select “Bank Installment via Amwal” at checkout, choose the bank and installment term, pay with your card, receive the car in 24-72 hours.

Can I use a credit card from a bank other than Al Rajhi and SNB?

Currently, the service is available only for Al Rajhi and SNB cardholders. Alinma Bank coming soon.

What if my card limit is less than the car price?

Use the Hybrid Payment feature: pay part of the car with the card + the rest via another method (bank financing, Tamara, or cash). Contact Carly’s sales rep to split the amount.

Can I use a debit card (Mada)?

No, the service is dedicated only to credit cards. Mada is used for regular direct payments, not installments.

What’s the maximum number of installments?

24 monthly installments (2 years).

Is there a small profit margin? How does the bank profit?

A lowest profit margin on you. The bank profits from small service fees that Carly pays for offering this feature to its customers. These fees are pre-agreed and are not Riba interest.

Do I need to visit a bank branch?

No, everything is electronic. Just enter your card details on Carly’s website.

What if the bank rejects the operation?

Common rejection reasons:

  • Card limit doesn’t cover the amount
  • Card expired or suspended
  • Temporary technical issue

In case of rejection, contact your bank to learn the reason, or choose an alternative payment method on Carly.

How does the bank calculate the monthly installment?

Simple formula: Amount ÷ Number of Installments = Monthly Installment. Without interest.

Example: 60,000 ÷ 12 = SAR 5,000/month.

Are points and cashback guaranteed?

Yes, you get all card points and cashback on the full amount (not on installments). This is a major benefit.

How do I know if my card is eligible?

Visit amwal.tech/en/how-it-works and enter the first 6-8 digits of your card. It will show if it’s eligible.

What if I want early payment?

Welcome! You can pay off the remaining amount in full or part at any time. Contact your bank’s app (Al Rajhi or SNB) to request early payment.

Is approval guaranteed 100%?

No. Approval depends on:

  • Sufficient card limit availability
  • Card validity
  • Bank’s internal policy

In 95%+ of cases, approval is instant.

What’s the difference between Amwal installment and traditional Al Rajhi car financing?

Amwal installment: On your credit card, lowest profit margin, 12-second approval, card limit, 24 months max.

Al Rajhi car financing: Separate loan, 3-5% annual profit, 3-5 days approval, up to SAR 800,000, 60 months max.

Choose based on your situation.

Does the 7-day return policy apply?

The 7-day return policy primarily applies to cash payments. For bank installment, contact Carly directly to learn the procedures, as it requires bank coordination.

Information updated through May 2026. The service is live on HalaCarly.com through Carly’s partnership with Amwal, licensed by SAMA under PSP013.
