Riyadh-based robo-advisor Abyan Capital rolled out a self-directed trading platform that <\/strong>allows Saudi investors to buy shariah-compliant US equities<\/strong> and open high-yield savings accounts, it said in a press release (pdf)<\/a>. The new platform, developed in partnership with California-based brokerage tech firm Alpaca, offers digital onboarding, instant funding channels, and tools to calculate the zakat, purification, and shariah compliance of the listed securities. <\/p>\n

What they said:<\/strong> \u201cWe identified a significant gap in the Saudi market: no single player was offering shariah-compliant products, intuitive user experiences, and efficient access to US markets all on one platform. We believe we can be that player,\u201d Abyan Capital Co-founder Saleh Alaqeel said.<\/p>\n

IN CONTEXT-<\/strong> The move comes amid a sharp rise in Saudi trading activity in US markets. Transactions by Saudi investors jumped 230% in 2Q 2025 to SAR 193.4 bn (USD 51.6 bn), with US equities accounting for almost all cross-border trades, the statement read, citing data from the Capital Market Authority. \u201cAdditionally, the US markets accounted for over 98% of all international trading by Saudi investors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two are longstanding partners: <\/strong>Abyan Capital and Alpaca first partnered in 2021, when the Saudi robo-advisor integrated Alpaca\u2019s Broker API to power its automated wealth management app, which launched commercially in late 2022. The platform attracted over 100k downloads within three months<\/a>, marking Abyan\u2019s entry into digital portfolio management for retail investors.<\/p>\n

Opening the gates both ways:<\/strong> Alpaca has recently completed a technical integration<\/a> with Tadawul-listed e-brokerage Derayah Financial enabling non-resident clients to trade directly in the Saudi market. The collaboration is part of a broader effort to expand cross-border access and digitalize investment services. It follows Derayah\u2019s MoU with Abyan Capital<\/a> to streamline retail transactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
