Derayah Financial Lands US$80M ANB Credit Facility to Drive Growth

Taha A. AlKuwaiz, Derayah Financial Chairman

Saudi Arabia's Derayah Financial Co. has signed a SAR 300 million (US$80 million) Shariah-compliant credit facility agreement with Arab National Bank (ANB), strengthening its financial position as the Kingdom's capital markets continue to expand under Saudi Vision 2030.

The agreement became effective on June 25, 2026, according to a filing on Tadawul, Saudi Arabia's stock exchange. The financing facility remains available until October 31, 2026, with an option for extension.

What Is Included in Derayah Financial's New Credit Facility?

Facility	Value	Purpose	Status
New Shariah-compliant credit facility	SAR 300 million	Expand brokerage operations and enhance investment products	Effective June 25, 2026
Renewed existing facility	SAR 54 million	Continued operational financing	Renewed
Total ANB credit facilities	SAR 354 million	Support long-term business growth	Active

The financing is secured through a promissory note, while Derayah confirmed there are no related parties involved in the transaction, supporting transparent corporate governance.

Why Is Derayah Raising Additional Financing?

According to the company, the financing will support several strategic priorities:

• Expanding its brokerage business
• Enhancing its portfolio of investment products
• Supporting day-to-day operating activities
• Strengthening its balance sheet for future growth opportunities

These initiatives align with Saudi Arabia's rapidly evolving financial services sector, where increasing retail investor participation and digital investment platforms continue to drive demand for brokerage services.

How Does This Support Saudi Arabia's Financial Sector Growth?

The financing comes as Saudi Arabia continues implementing Vision 2030, which aims to deepen capital markets, increase private-sector participation, and expand financial services across the Kingdom.

Institutions including Tadawul Group, Capital Market Authority (CMA), Public Investment Fund (PIF), Fintech Saudi, ADGM, and Hub71 have collectively accelerated regional investment and fintech innovation, creating a more competitive financial ecosystem across the GCC.

By increasing its available financing from SAR 54 million to SAR 354 million, Derayah gains additional flexibility to scale its brokerage platform and broaden its investment offerings amid growing market activity.

What Does the Agreement Mean for Investors?

While the financing does not immediately alter Derayah's financial performance, it provides additional capital to fund expansion initiatives without announcing an equity issuance.

Key takeaways include:

• SAR 300 million in new Shariah-compliant financing
• SAR 354 million in total credit facilities with ANB
• Financing effective from June 25, 2026
• Facility available until October 31, 2026, with extension rights
• Funds allocated toward brokerage expansion and product development
• No related-party transactions disclosed

As Saudi Arabia's investment landscape continues to mature, access to flexible Shariah-compliant financing remains an important competitive advantage for financial institutions seeking long-term growth.
