Targeting unexploited categories to overcome competition and gain industry share

The Saudi Arabian card payments channel is yet to be explored to its full potential by card issuers. Cards aimed at students, teenagers and businesses are gaining popularity across the world, but are yet to be exploited fully in Saudi Arabia. Some banks, such as Samba Financial Group and Al Rajhi Bank, are offering credit and debit cards, targeting female customers through the Ladies Banking service.

The growing e-commerce sector has prompted many banks, such as Al Rajhi Bank, SABB, Samba Financial Group and Riyad Bank, to offer cards exclusively targeted at online shoppers. To target high-income customers, banks are offering credit cards with a range of benefits and value-added services.

An increased consumer willingness to shop online resulted in growth of m-payments in Saudi Arabia. With banks partnering with online merchants, m-payments are expected to increase from US$415.0 million in 2014 to just under US$2 billion in 2018, at a forecast-period CAGR of just under 47%. Growth is expected to provide substantial scope for card-based payments.
