UNDERLINING its leadership in Saudi Arabia’s financial sector, Riyad Bank has won two accolades at this year’s Banker Middle East KSA Product Awards. Riyad Bank was nominated for and won the best trade finance offering and the best debit card products from Banker Middle East magazine, a leading banking and finance-focused publication in the Middle East and North Africa. 

 

With the categories voted for and winners chosen by the industry itself through a peer-vote process based on the quality and success of the product under nomination, the Banker Middle East awards are the most coveted in the region. The two wins for Riyad Bank highlight its approach to developing the highest quality financial solutions that meet the needs of its customers in the Kingdom.

 

“We’ve worked tirelessly to provide our corporate customers, both large and small, with trade financing through a range of different services and solutions,” said Ossama Bukhari, Executive Vice President for Corporate Banking at Riyad Bank. “Our trade finance solutions are designed with the needs of our customers in mind, to make doing business either domestically or internationally as simple as possible. We provide easy settlement through our world-wide network of correspondent banks, and our corporate banking specialists are always available to support our customers conclude their export and import transactions with a minimum of fuss and delay.”

 

Riyad Bank’s debit card services were recognized for the bank’s extensive ATM network as well as the safety features built into the card and accompanying services. “We’ve invested into our branch and ATM network, so that our customers have easy access to funds wherever they may be in the Kingdom,” said Adel Al-Sheikh, Executive Vice President for Retail Banking at Riyad Bank. “Our debit card services are designed to be safe, secure and convenient for our customers. We’re delighted with this recognition from Banker Middle East.” — SG
