RIYADH, 22 June 2005 — The Saudi British Bank (SABB) has been chosen as “Best Equities House in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for 2005” by Euromoney. “SABB has a highly developed brokerage service trading through six dedicated investment centers, with a dedicated one for women and 15 Tadawul share-trading branches,” Geoff Calvert, SAAB’s managing director said.
He went on: “The award represents an appreciation of the bank’s efforts across many sectors, including customer service and employment of Saudi nationals which stands now at 82% of the total number of employees as well as the bank’s introduction of the latest banking technology to facilitate the launch of an array of services and products to meet the requirements of customers and the bank’s leadership in the Saudi banking sector.” SABB has also begun its service offering trading in GCC stock markets through three dedicated centers in the Eastern, Central and Western Provinces.
