Saudi Arabia’s fintech industry has experienced strong growth, with the number of companies more than doubling in 2023 compared to the end of 2022. Ayman Al-Sayari, governor of the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), shared in September 2023 that the sector had expanded from 89 fintech companies in late 2022 to over 200 by August 2023. This surge surpassed the central bank’s initial goal of 150 companies by the end of 2023, putting the country on track to reach 525 fintech companies by 2030. This growth was highlighted in SAMA’s annual fintech report, which provides an overview of the sector's progress and outlines ambitious targets for the future. These targets include increasing the share of non-cash transactions to 70% by 2025 and boosting venture capital investments in Saudi fintech from SAR 232 million (US$61.9 million) in 2021 to SAR 12.2 billion (US$3.2 billion) by 2030. Additionally, the fintech sector aims to contribute SAR 13.3 billion (US$3.5 billion) to Saudi Arabia’s GDP and create more than 18,000 jobs by 2030. To achieve these goals, the Saudi government has launched several initiatives. These include Fintech Saudi, a hub offering acceleration programs and career fairs; a fintech regulatory sandbox for testing innovative products and business models; and a SAR 300 million (US$80 million) fund to support fintech startups.

I really enjoyed hosting a lively panel discussion with Arjun Vir Singh, Dana Shaheen, Mo Ali Yusuf and Adil Riaz on the current #FinTech recruiting landscape in the Middle East. Thank you for your enthusiasm in sharing genuine advice with London Business School students. 😍 🌍 Exploring #Fintech Careers in #MENA? Here's What You Should Know 🌍 The Middle East is quickly rising as a global fintech hub, with the UAE and KSA leading the charge. If you're eyeing fintech opportunities in the region, here are three key insights:  1️⃣ Booming Consumer & SME Markets Fintechs in consumer finance and SME banking are flourishing, with banks partnering up rather than competing, and even innovating themselves. State players such as Mubadala (investing in Revolut) and ADQ (launching Wio Bank) are key enablers to fintech innovation. Global players are fuelling digital transformation and financial inclusion.  2️⃣ Diverse & Maturing Ecosystem From embedded finance to digital assets, telcos (e.g., stc pay) and startups like Tabby and Tamara are pushing fintech boundaries. With progressive regulations, the region is on the global radar.  3️⃣ Competitive Talent Landscapes in Key Hubs Dubai may be a key player, but Abu Dhabi, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Qatar are rapidly emerging as fintech talent hubs. The competition for top talent is fierce—position yourself in these ecosystems and leverage in-person networking to gain an edge. 💡 Pro Tip: Focus on transferrable skills, consider entrepreneurship, and explore venture capital or consulting in this thriving market!
