Saudi Arabia is becoming prominent in cross-border payments due to the increasing popularity of digital wallets.
54% of Saudi consumers making cross-border payments used digital wallets, ranking just behind the U.S. and ahead of the UK and Singapore.
While consumer adoption of digital wallets is high, SMBs in Saudi Arabia show lower usage rates due to concerns such as security, tracking, high costs, and poor exchange rates.
Bridging the gap between consumer and SMB adoption of digital wallets is crucial for Saudi Arabia to fully leverage its FinTech potential and redefine financial operations in the global economy.
