- Debt collection actions: Banks may employ legal means to recover the outstanding debt, such as contacting the individual to explore repayment options, sending default notices, and initiating legal procedures.
- Restrictions on financial transactions: In extreme cases, the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) may restrict the individual's ability to conduct financial transactions or access certain banking services.
- Court judgments and asset seizure: If the bank obtains a court judgment, it may have the legal right to seize the individual's assets, such as vehicles or real estate, to satisfy the debt.
Arrests and imprisonment solely for unpaid bank loans are not legally permitted in Bahrain as it is considered a civil financial matter rather than a criminal offense.
