Saudi National Bank (SNB) and the Future of Digital Banking in Saudi Arabia

The Saudi National Bank (SNB) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is a major financial institution that is actively pivoting to a digital-first banking model as part of the country’s broader transformation under Saudi Vision 2030. sothebysrealty.sa+1
Background & strategic impetus
Under Vision 2030, the Financial Sector Development Program emphasises digitalisation of financial services, open banking, financial inclusion and fintech innovation. SNB has responded by establishing a dedicated Digital Ventures & Payments company and appointing Dr Saleh Bin Ibrahim Al-Furaih as its CEO. alahli.com
In September 2024 SNB launched “NEO” — a fully digital banking experience offering easy account opening, multi-currency cards, personal expense management, financing, and e-commerce-linked loyalty. alahli.com
