Enjaz Company is responsible for all payments and transfer activities previously managed as a business sector affiliated with the Bank.

As a result, 2023 was a critical year for Enjaz, representing our first full year of operations as an independent entity providing payment services for retail customers and corporate businesses and increasingly engaging with new FinTech companies that are reshaping the financial services sector in Saudi Arabia.

Across 60 cities, Enjaz has delivered a robust set of results in 2023. Card usage has increased by 19% and digital onboarding by 48% and customer balances by 16% after launched a way to charge the wallet by Mada cards. The reliance on technology services increased to 50% and above of total operations.

Enjaz emphasizes innovation, investing in technology and capabilities with fintech that contribute to launching new services & products. This technological investment has contributed to better customer services and enhanced operational efficiency to delivering value to the business.

As we move forward into 2024,

Enjaz’s focus will remain on

meeting evolving customer needs

through continuous innovation.

This commitment to digital innovation is coupled with a physical presence in cities and towns across Saudi Arabia. This gives Enjaz a unique proposition in the operating space, making it ideally placed as an “on-the-ground” partner for new FinTech companies with only a digital presence.

In 2023, the business achieved several critical milestones. These included establishing the foundation for significant functions to operate independently, implementing an end-to-end antifraud solution for regulatory compliance, participating in a successful core banking system upgrade, enhancing app security, and introducing the SoftPOS product.

Because Enjaz operates as a subsidiary, it can now operate with more agility in a sector characterized by increasingly rapid change.

This enables Enjaz to significantly contribute to delivering products and services that contribute to the broader national aims and ambitions set out in Vision 2030. In 2023, Enjaz has increased digital adoption, promoted financial inclusion, and supported the move towards a cashless society - all core pillars of Vision 2030. At the same time, shareholder value has been increased through reduced operational costs and increased transaction margins.

Beyond financial contributions, Enjaz actively engaged in a range of CSR activities in 2023, including environmental initiatives, fraud awareness campaigns, recycling programs, volunteering, afforestation, and Ramadan basket distribution. This reflects the core values of the Bank and its subsidiaries and ensures that our activities deliver more excellent value to the communities in which we operate.

This year, we have also taken steps to improve the customer experience with customer-focused initiatives involving launching a multilanguage call center 24/7, app, and kiosk for an enhanced experience, strict SLAs for customer complaint resolutions, sponsorship of events, marketing campaigns, and participation in national days.
