“CASHU has been operating successfully in Saudi Arabia since 2003 and has become the preferred method of payment for online shoppers in the Kingdom,” said CASHU CEO, Thaer Suleiman. “Our new partnership with Bank Albilad will allow us to develop a variety of new and innovative payment solutions specifically for the Saudi market and further grow our customer base in the Kingdom. Working alongside Bank Albilad, CASHU also plans to introduce new mobile payment solutions for the domestic market, including NFC payments.”

“It is well known that Bank Abilad is a leader in the Saudi remittance services market through the bank’s remittance arm, Enjaz Banking Services,” said Suleiman. “For this reason, we are also in discussion with the bank about developing new value-added services for expats residing in the Kingdom.”
