Here's all you need to know about the first Money20/20 Middle East in Riyadh
The event will take place from September 15 to 17 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre
Looking to stay ahead of the curve in the fast-moving fintech sector? Money20/20 is coming to Riyadh for the first time.
Taking place from Monday September 15 to Wednesday September 17 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre in Malham, the event is expected to attract more than 45,000 attendees and over 600 international investors, with 450-plus exhibiting brands. Anchored under the theme “Where Money Does Business,” discussions will cover AI in finance, open banking, regulation, and inclusive innovation.
Expect the attendees to come together to learn, discuss, make connections and do business.
Beyond the business deals, the event serves as a launch pad for Saudi Arabia’s goal to establish itself as a global fintech hub.
Since announcing a distinguished list of founding partners for Money20/20 Middle East’s inaugural event, it is not surprising that several leading Saudi and international firms have become founding partners of the region’s premier fintech gathering.
These include AlRajhi Bank, Riyad Bank, STC Bank, Saudi National Bank, Tamara, Visa and Vision Bank.
The list of sponsors also features JP Morgan, Mastercard, Bupa, Ant International, Mambu, Tabby, Tap Payments, Tiqmo, Banque Saudi Fransi, and SME Bank, highlighting the event’s scale and global appeal.
Money20/20 Middle East will showcase executive networking lounges, curated meeting programmes, and an AI-driven matchmaking platform to connect sponsors, investors, and fintech innovators.
Annabelle Mander, executive vice president of Riyadh-based Tahaluf (the organising company), said, “The calibre of sponsors and partners supporting Money20/20 Middle East reflects the strategic importance of this event for the region. These influential organisations are not just participants, they’re active architects of financial innovation who recognise the power of bringing the global fintech community to this dynamic market.”
Riyadh is the latest city to join the Money20/20 event series, which has been ongoing for over a decade. Other host cities for the flagship event include Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Bangkok, and São Paulo.
Over time, it has become widely recognised as the world’s leading fintech conference series, uniting the brightest minds in fintech with global leaders, innovators, policymakers, and investors to shape the future of money on an international stage.
