Speaking about the launch of Alinma’s Signature card, Ahmed Jaber, Director of Visa in Saudi Arabia said the following: “The Saudi banking market is one of the most important markets for Visa in the region due to the market size and the number of users of Visa cards. Our partnership with Alinma Bank allows us to provide users with world-class card technology with worldwide acceptance at millions of POS locations and ATMs, which allows partners to pay directly from their accounts to purchase products or services in a safe and appropriate manner."
