“Through BayanPay, Finablr will support the Kingdom’s strategic objectives of becoming a cashless society. That is one of the goals of the Financial Sector Development Program under Saudi Vision 2030.”

SAMA’s estimates non-cash payments for the retail sector of more than 36% of all payments in Saudi in 2019. The goal is to increase this to 70% by 2030.

Finablr acquired its majority stake in BayanPay in 2019. This provides the group with entry to the GCC’s largest economy. At the same time, it enables BayanPay to benefit from Finablr’s technology to deliver seamless and reliable payments solutions.

Bayan Payments was established in Riyadh to build a payments gateway technology capable of meeting rapidly growing demand for e-commerce payments in the country. And to introduce e-wallet services to Saudi Arabian consumers.
