The Saudi British Bank (SABB) has completed the first phase of automating bank guarantees through “Wethaq” digital platform,recently launched by The Saudi Company for Exchanging Digital Information (Tabadul), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF). This technology permits beneficiaries to verify bank guarantees automatically.
This makes SABB the first bank to complete the initial linking phase with “Wethaq”, which is the first-of-its-kind digital platform in Saudi Arabia and the region. In addition, the bank is working towards the second linking phase which is more complete management of bank guarantees, including; issuance, release, amendment, and cancellation.
