Boosting financial services sector in the Kingdom

Eng Saleh Khabti conveyed that his party has worked closely with Ant International on its expansion into the Kingdom. This expansion initiative will benefit thousands of merchants nationwide and potentially hundreds of thousands of businesses across the Middle East. “We are seeing tremendous growth in digital payments in Saudia Arabia and we except this trend to continue with Ant International’s expansion which will further boost the financial services sector in the Kingdom,” said Eng Saleh Khabti as quoted by TechNode Global.

Meanwhile, Douglas Feagin stated that the firm sees an enormous opportunity for expansion in the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia. This region has been known to support technological innovations and digitalization to empower its businesses. He said, “Through our agreement with MISA, Ant International enters an exciting new chapter of opportunity within Saudi Arabia. We’re delighted to build upon our progress in the Middle East to support merchants’ access to our world class payment solutions and inclusive financial services, providing Saudi businesses with various tools to grow and benefit from international travel and trade.”

In this expansion initiative, Ant International will provide four services for global merchants: Alipay+ cross-border mobile payment and digitalization technology solutions, Antom merchant payment services, WorldFirst digital payment and financial services for cross-border trade, and ANEXT Bank, a digital wholesale bank regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and other embedded financial services.
