In line with this, the advent of internet banking and various forms of payment methods improving the accessibility to vital financial services is impelling the market growth. Moreover, the implementation of favorable regulations by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) regarding licensing digital banks to promote innovation is providing an impetus to market growth.

Growing Adoption of Smartphone Banking and Digital Services
