American Express Saudi Arabia is a joint venture company, equally owned by Amex (Middle East) B.S.C. and the Saudi Investment Bank. The company owns and operates the American Express card and merchant business in the Kingdom.
While American Express products have been accessible to customers, merchants, and corporations in Saudi Arabia for more than three decades, the establishment of American Express Saudi Arabia in 1999 marked a significant milestone in the brand’s development within
the Kingdom.
Combining the resources and expertise of American Express with the Saudi Investment Bank has contributed to developing and expanding the services offered to American Express cardmembers and merchants in the Kingdom.
