Al Rajhi Bank announced the signing of a supplier financing contract worth SAR 1.625 billion with Zain Saudi Arabia, the leading provider of communications and digital services in the Kingdom. This financing agreement aims to invest in expanding Zain’s fifth-generation (5G) network and enhancing the infrastructure to support the business sector.

Our partnership with Al Rajhi Bank aligns with the ambitions of Vision 2030, aiming for sustainable digital transformation and contributing to a new era of digital innovation in the Kingdom. This financing agreement supports our strategy to provide a distinguished customer experience, innovative services, and enhanced services for religious tourism, particularly for pilgrims.”
Last year, Al Rajhi Bank signed a memorandum of understanding with Zain Saudi Arabia to form a strategic partnership, allowing closer cooperation between the leading bank in the banking sector and one of the most important telecommunications companies in the Kingdom.
