About this Event
Saudi Arabia is rapidly becoming a regional leader in digital payments, with over 62% of point-of-sale transactions now cashless, according to the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA). Driven by Vision 2030, the Kingdom is moving swiftly toward a fully cashless economy, with mobile wallet usage surging by 95% in 2023, SAMA adds.
In this fast-evolving landscape, the Payment Security Summit – Saudi Arabia will bring together global and local leaders to address the urgent need for secure, future-ready digital payment infrastructure. The summit will spark innovation, shape policy and strengthen the Kingdom’s digital trust ecosystem.Saudi Arabia’s Fintech Landscape
