The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is determinedly focused on high energy innovation in its key banking and payments sectors.

Aside from the essential need for banks and financial institutions to remain competitive and relevant in a rapidly modernising financial sector, the targets set by Saudi Vision 2030 for economic diversification and long-term prosperity are there to be met. A glaringly vital component in the innovation of banking and payments arrives through the considered and strategic application of AI, the ultimate changer of the game.

Fortunately, there remains inherent entrepreneurial creativity at large in Saudi Arabia underscored by the rapid and massive growth of fintech startups, plus the ongoing implementation of technology that is delivering a fast-maturing banking and finance sector, positioning the country as a future global financial centre.

The MEA Finance Leaders in Tech Innovations and Payments Summit, KSA will proudly gather national leaders in Banking, Finance, Technology, Payments and Fintech, and the key businesses they serve from across The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to apply their unique knowledge and foresight in a series of lively and highly topical panel debates. The Summit discussions will focus upon the changes and benefits banking and payments technology will bring the country, as well as the technologies that are leading them, and the shape of the tasks of harnessing them to create Saudi Arabia’s banking and payments services of the future.
