Money20/20 

Riyadh is gearing up to host the first edition of Money 20/20 Middle East on the 15th to the 17th of September 2025. The fintech event is bringing together the brightest minds in fintech as well as global leaders, innovators, policymakers, and investors. 

Launched in 2012 in Las Vegas, Money20/20 is a premium content, sales, and networking platform for the global money ecosystem. Over the following 12 years, it expanded internationally, hosting Europe and Asia’s premier fintech events in Amsterdam and Bangkok. 

Its Middle East debut will bring together more than 450 brands, 350 speakers, and 600 investors in Riyadh. The event is designed to connect banks, fintechs, regulators, startups, and investors on one platform. It aims to be where strategies are shaped, partnerships are formed, and deals move quickly.

Fintech

With a USD 1 trillion economy and a national agenda anchored in digital transformation, Saudi Arabia is steadily building its fintech credentials. Vision 2030 places payments and financial technology at the core of economic diversification, drawing billions in investment. That momentum has made Riyadh an increasingly natural gathering point for industry leaders, investors, and regulators looking toward the sector’s future.

“Our customers have made it clear—they see the immense potential of this region and are eager to establish their presence here. With the power of Tahaluf and its ability to expand Money20/20 into new geographies at pace, 2025 is the perfect time for us to bring this show to life and serve more customers than ever in this vibrant market,” said Tracey Davies, President of Money20/20. 

The event will host keynote sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities designed to spark collaboration and new ideas. It is expected to create space for new partnerships between regional startups and global players like Visa, Mastercard, and Adyen. It also aims to foster innovation in digital payments with demonstrations of solutions in AI, blockchain, and digital currencies.
