SABB (Saudi bank)
The Saudi British Bank (SABB) (Arabic: البنك السعودي البريطاني (ساب)) is a Riyadh-based Saudi joint stock company in which British banking firm HSBC Holdings PLC owns a minority stake.[4] The bank traces its origins to the British Bank of the Middle East which was acquired by HSBC in 1959. In response to restrictions on foreign ownership of banks in Saudi Arabia, SABB was created in 1978 to manage HSBC branches and assets in the country. SABB is one the five largest Saudi banks by deposits[5] and has over eighty branches across Saudi Arabia and one branch in London, England. In May 2018, prompted by recent changes to Vision 2030 economic reforms, SABB announced its intention to acquire Alawwal Bank in the Saudi banking sector's first merger in twenty years.[
