Alawwal Bank has a long history of providing trusted banking services and innovative financial solutions to the people and businesses of Saudi Arabia. We were the first bank to operate in the Kingdom, opening our doors in 1926 as the de facto central bank and issuing the first Riyal two years later.Over the years we have played an integral role in supporting the leaders of the Kingdom and the growth of the Saudi economy. We have always put our customers first and remain committed to improving their individual banking experiences by delivering service excellence and increasingly advanced technologies. We introduced the first smart credit card to the market, and continue to integrate new technologies at our branches and operations.
