Money20/20 To Launch Its Middle East Edition In Riyadh

The premier global fintech event formerly known as 24 Fintech, now Money20/20, will debut its Middle East edition at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre (RECC) from September 15-17, 2025. This inaugural event will bring together the brightest minds in fintech, alongside global leaders, innovators, policymakers, and investors, all driving the future of payments and financial technology. 

Founded by industry experts in Las Vegas in 2012, Money20/20 has quickly established itself as a central hub for the global fintech community, hosting the top fintech events in Europe and Asia in Amsterdam and Bangkok, respectively. Over the past decade, some of the most innovative and dynamic companies have leveraged Money20/20 to drive growth, with names like Mastercard, Airwallex, J.P. Morgan, SHIELD, GCash, Stripe, Google, VISA, and others using it to forge transformative partnerships and elevate their global presence.  

Meanwhile, under Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, the Kingdom is rapidly positioning itself as the Middle East's leading hub for digital payments, with billions being invested in the financial services tech sector, fueling innovation and growth across the region. 

With a dynamic mix of keynote speakers, thought-provoking panel discussions, and ample networking opportunities, Money20/20 Middle East will ignite fresh collaborations and inspire innovative ideas in the financial sector. Organized by Tahaluf, Saudi Arabia’s B2B event organizer which organizes iconic events like LEAP, Cityscape, and Black Hat MEA, attendees will include top industry leaders, trailblazing innovators, influential policymakers, and investors driving the future of payments and fintech. 

In its first debut in September 2024, 24 Fintech set a new record as the largest first-time fintech event ever, attracting over 300 exhibitors, more than 350 investors, and over 37,000 visitors. 

In a statement, Annabelle Mander, executive vice president of Tahaluf, said, “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is rapidly emerging as a key player in the global financial landscape, and that was laid bare by the success of 24 Fintech in September. Money20/20 is the biggest brand in global fintech and now is the right time to launch its Middle East edition. Building on the success of 24 Fintech, Money20/20 Middle East will be twice the scale, twice the audience, twice the speakers, and twice the exhibitors when we open our doors in Riyadh in September.”   

On the region’s potential, Tracey Davies, president of Money20/20, commented, “Our customers have made it clear — they see the immense potential of this region and are eager to establish their presence here. With the power of Tahaluf and its ability to expand Money20/20 into new geographies at pace, 2025 is the perfect time for us to bring this show to life and serve more customers than ever in this vibrant market.”
