The Saudi Central Bank, known as SAMA, recently disclosed an impressive uptick in digital transactions within the retail sector. Astonishingly, electronic payments now make up a whopping 70% of all retail transactions as of 2023, marking a significant climb from the previous year’s 62%.

This remarkable growth is largely the result of a surge in usage of the nation’s payment systems, with figures showing an increase from 8.7 billion transactions in 2022 to 10.8 billion in the following year. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has embraced a concerted push towards electronic payment systems, leveraging a strategic alliance across the financial sector to foster this rapid adoption.
