No, the circular only covers the money already available in your LBP account(s). However, you can make instant transfers from your USD account to your LBP account at market rate using the Mobile Banking application, and then withdraw based on the Sayrafa rate.

 

Can I make more than one withdrawal transaction?

Yes, you can make as many withdrawal transactions at Sayrafa rate as you want, as long as you do not exceed your daily, weekly, and monthly withdrawal limits in LBP, as well as the withdrawal limit set for Sayrafa.

 

What are my withdrawal limits?
