Fintech Saudi

Fintech Saudi is an initiative operating under the Financial Sector Development Program and overseen by a committee comprising the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and the Capital Market Authority (CMA). Its ambition is to make Saudi Arabia a destination for fintech innovation by building a vibrant, responsible fintech ecosystem. Fintech Saudi provides informational and advisory resources and delivers initiatives that support the growth of fintech companies and entrepreneurs. The website offers resources including a fintech map that lists registered fintech firms, an electronic library, and programs such as office hours and meetings with regulators. Fintech Saudi does not build fintech products itself; rather, it focuses on enabling others to develop and scale their products and services by providing guidance, connecting stakeholders, and supporting talent development. Visitors can register their fintech company in the fintech database to be included on the map, review available initiatives and programs, and apply for activities such as office hours, requests for speakers, accelerator programs and summer courses. The site also provides information about the regulatory sandbox operated by SAMA and the fintech lab operated by the CMA, and about wider national fintech strategy materials as published by the initiative.
