Default send money from Saudi Arabia to the UK

Hello everybody! I am with Riyad Bank and signed up to their online bank service.
Problem is that when I set up a UK beneficiary form, no where can I see to put in the sort code and my UK bank IBAN number or to that matter the SWIFT code.
It has that prefilled to either NATWEST!?! (if you send pound sterlings) or RBOS!?! (if you send it as saudi riyals)

I am confused! Can anyone help me please!?!

Get your branch SWIFT, address, phone number, etc - take it all into the branch in person, and do the transfer the old fashioned way.

You'll pay a few bucks, but the job will get done.

Good luck!

I'm not with Riyadh Bank, but with Samba/SABB there is a different tab for international transfers where you input your account details. I think IBAN only (they love IBAN in Saudi - it's even used for internal transfers...)

But as mentioned in another post. Take your money and go down to a branch, or one of the special money sending branches (can't remember the terminology of the top of my head)..
