Banking software that
survives SAMA review.

We engineer the regulated core of Saudi fintech, payment rails, wallets, ledgers, Open Banking APIs, to the standard SAMA, NCA and PCI-DSS auditors actually check. Pass cybersecurity review on the first submission, not the third.

The challenge

Where do fintech platforms fail?

We've reviewed enough Saudi fintech codebases to see the same patterns. Every one of them is engineered out of an NX build from day one.

Ledger drift

Balances drift from the source of truth under concurrent writes. The reconciliation team spends nights finding pennies that hide millions.

PCI-DSS gaps

Card numbers in logs, plaintext in databases, ad-hoc encryption. A single QSA visit ends the launch plan.

KYC theatre

OCR on a phone photo and a checkbox. SAMA wants Nafath verification, sanctions screening and a documented audit trail of every step.

Burst latency

The payday spike pushes p99 above 5 seconds. Customers retry; duplicate charges follow; trust evaporates faster than the queue clears.

No audit trail

"Who approved this transfer?" returns silence. SAMA, internal audit and the next investor all need an immutable answer.

AML blind spots

Structuring, velocity anomalies and sanctioned counterparties pass through unnoticed. The first you hear is a regulator letter.

What we build

What do we engineer?

Production modules we ship and integrate. Each is mapped to the regulator that will eventually audit it.

Double-entry ledger

Concurrency-safe, append-only ledger with immutable audit trail and end-of-day reconciliation. The single source of financial truth.

Nafath KYC & onboarding

National identity verification flows with sanctions screening, PEP checks and risk-based onboarding tiers.

PCI-DSS tokenization

Card data never touches your application database. Network-token vault, HSM-backed encryption, scoped IAM.

SAMA Open Banking

Account-information and payment-initiation API surfaces aligned with the SAMA Open Banking framework, sandbox to production.

Transaction monitoring

Real-time rules engine for AML, fraud and velocity, with case management, SAR workflow and full evidentiary trail.

Regulator reporting

Automated SAMA reporting schedules, audit-trail evidence packs, and the dashboard internal audit asks for first.

Common questions

Engineering Saudi fintech, answered

Do we need a SAMA licence before we engage?

No. Many of our engagements run in parallel with the licensing process, we engineer the platform to the standard the eventual review will expect, so by the time the licence application is reviewed, the technical case is already documented and ready.

Can you take a SAMA sandbox build to production?

Yes. We treat sandbox as an interim milestone, not a deliverable. The same architecture, controls and audit trails go to production unchanged, that's the entire point of building it institutional from the start.

What about Open Banking specifically?

We implement the SAMA Open Banking technical standards end to end, account information services and payment initiation, consent capture, sandbox onboarding and production hardening, with the security and resilience controls the framework requires.

How is card data handled?

It isn't, by you. We architect tokenized handling so PAN never lives in your application database. The cardholder-data environment is isolated, HSM-backed and PCI-DSS-scoped, keeping audit scope small and customer data safe.
