SABB Completes Merger With Alawwal Bank

The Saudi British Bank (SABB) announced that it had completed its merger with Alawwal Bank to join all products and services provided to customers.

Through the integration, SABB will support economic growth across different fields in Saudi Arabia by financing the biggest infrastructure projects.

Both banks were legally merged in June 2019 to form the first integration in terms of scale and complexity in Saudi Arabia.

The Chairman of SABB, Lubna Olayan, said: "As a stronger, more diverse and now fully integrated bank, we are even better positioned to be the bank of choice for a wide range of innovative banking and finance services and to support the exciting transformation of the Kingdom and our economy."

For his part, SABB's Managing Director, David Dew, said: "Our increased balance sheet and capital means we can better support our customers and deliver greater shareholder value."

SABB will also strengthen its partnership with HSBC to enable its customers to have access to the international banking network and introduce new standards in digital services to Saudi Arabia.
