SNB Capital has launched its Market Access Services, enabling foreign financial institutions to provide custody and trading access to their clients on the Saudi Exchange.
The platform follows the regulatory update by the Capital Market Authority (CMA), opening the Saudi Exchange’s Main Market to all categories of foreign investors — which is to take effect on 1 February 2026.
SNB Capital’s Market Access Services are available to eligible foreign financial institutions, providing a one-stop solution to enable account opening, funding, custody, and trading for their clients on the Saudi Exchange.
It aims to also support decision making through a wide, comprehensive research coverage of the Saudi market.
The solution provides multiple options for institutions to connect and trade including co-located FIX order routing, API-based integrations, and institutional grade technology systems.
Commenting on the launch, Jalal Faruki, head of securities at SNB Capital, says: “The launch of our Market Access Services is a key milestone in the evolution of services SNB Capital provides to global institutions and their end clients. ?
“We have already enabled access for over 160,000 investors including retail, institutions and corporates; and will continue to forge more partnerships with financial institutions to provide access to Saudi capital markets for a wider global investor base.”
