A landmark alliance between Interactive Brokers and Saudi National Bank Capital (SNB Capital) provides IBKR’s clients with seamless access to Saudi equities alongside global stocks, options, futures, currencies, bonds, funds and more from a single unified platform.

Saudi Arabia is the Gulf region's largest economy and capital market and is on the verge of a transformative period. Recent regulatory changes enabling foreign retail investors to trade Saudi equities and a relationship with SNB Capital present a significant opportunity for investors seeking exposure to developing economies.

The Saudi Exchange, with 238 listed companies across 21 sectors,1 offers a promising landscape for growth. Clients of Interactive Brokers can now further diversify and expand their investment portfolios to Saudi stocks, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and ETFs that trade on the Middle East’s largest stock exchange, opening up a world of trading potential.
