JEDDAH: SABB announced Saturday it has opened its new Western Province management building on King Abdulaziz Road in Jeddah.

SABB Chairman Khaled Suleiman Olayan, who hosted the inauguration, commented on the progress witnessed in the Western Region thanks to the efforts of Makkah Gov. Prince Khaled Al-Faisal and Jeddah Gov. Prince Mishaal bin Majed, under the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah. “The new building demonstrates the bank’s confidence in the continuing expansion of its business,” he said. “2009 was a challenging year for the financial services industry. However, SABB is strongly positioned to take advantage of opportunities which the expanding Saudi economy will enjoy in 2010,” Olayan added.

The new building houses the offices of the area GM, regional corporate, personal finance and human resources departments, and includes the bank’s latest branch in the city, incorporating a world-class “Premier Center”.

Olayan wished Alaa Al-Jabri, area general manager, and his staff the very best for the future success of the bank in the region.
