SAMA New Banking Products and Services Guideline

The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) issued this guideline to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for the introduction, approval, and oversight of new banking products and services by licensed banks. The document requires financial institutions to implement robust risk management, consumer protection, and Shariah compliance mechanisms while ensuring transparent reporting and governance structures. It standardizes the licensing process for innovative financial offerings to mitigate unforeseen operational risks and maintain market stability.
