Exclusive: Central Bank Warns Aman Bank Over Deductions Exceeding 37 Million Dinars… and Demands Refund

Our source has exclusively obtained — confirming what it reported yesterday — a correspondence from the Central Bank of Libya addressing Aman Bank for violating CBL instructions by deducting a commission of 1 dinar (LYD) for each purchase transaction using the local card at Point of Sale (POS) terminals, 1% commission for each cash withdrawal using the bank’s card at ATM machines, 3 LYD per month for the SMS notification service, 100 LYD for issuing or renewing an international card, and 100 LYD in annual fees and for personal goods recharge, all of which are clear violations of the instructions issued by the Central Bank of Libya in this regard.

The Central Bank also warned Aman Bank to adhere strictly to the issued instructions, and demanded that it repay the collected commissions that were in violation of the mentioned circular during the year 2025 to the bank’s customers, with the total value exceeding 37 million dinars.
