The bank’s mission is to provide Shariah-compliant financial services, enabling access to credit to a wider segment of the Saudi population by applying modern technologies to serve clients and process data in compliance with regulations and guidelines.
Backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign fund Public Investment and Derayah Financial, D360 Bank contributes to the digital transformation of the Saudi financial services sector.
“The launch of D360 Bank marks a new chapter in providing innovative and comprehensive digital banking services to all segments, aligned with global digital standards, supporting financial inclusion in Saudi Arabia and aligning with the objectives of the Financial Sector Development Program, contributing to the ambitious goals of Vision 2030 and reinforcing Saudi financial sector leadership in the region and globally,” said Taha A. AlKuwaiz, the Chairman of D360 Bank.
