Saudi Arabia Digital Payments Industry Trends and Drivers:

The digital payments market in Saudi Arabia is thriving due to the country’s commitment to a cashless economy through Vision 2030. With a high penetration of smartphones and an improved internet environment, consumers are becoming increasingly comfortable using mobile applications and contactless payments for the sake of convenience and speed. This is further encouraged by the government, as some initiatives by the Saudi Central Bank have promoted digital banking and financial access to the masses, helping individuals and businesses utilize electronic transactions. The larger urban centers of Riyadh and Jeddah are leading the charge with respect to the shift to electronic transactions, while the younger generations are typically more demanding of simplified and seamless solutions for making payments. There has also been considerable growth in online services and e-commerce, which is largely attributable to merchants transitioning their business to online-based payment solutions. Retailers have continually replaced cash with digital wallet offerings and various secure payment gateways in order to attract technology-savvy customers who prefer the nature of payment to be as quick and simply completed as possible.

The second most important trend is the increasing adoption of fintech innovations like blockchain-based payments and instant transfer systems that provide security and transparency for the user, which is valued by not only consumers, but businesses as well. The hospitality and retail sectors are using a large portion of their budgets to install payment systems that leverage contactless cards and mobile payments that are comparable to the global standard. A technology partnership between local banks with international fintech technology will provide customized user platforms that align with Saudi consumer preferences. Despite issues with cybersecurity, the fintech market is expanding quickly with government support and cultural changes mitigation seen as an alternative for financial solutions compared to traditional banking. Saudi Arabia is positioned to be a leader in the digital payment adoption within the region.
