This includes things like paying for critical medical care, fertility treatments to start a family, wedding expenses, travel expense, university tuition and small projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Naif AbuSaida, Hakbah Founder, said that bringing the social savings concept into the AI and digital age creates a far more practical and applicable new social savings culture while preserving the core purpose and cultural heritage of the social savings practice. He said that while supporting short financial needs, Hakbah helps build new savings habits among its users that have long-term benefit for them and their families while contributing to the financial stability of communities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Naif AbuSaida said: \u201cWe greatly appreciate that such a highly respected international business organization like CNBC is recognizing the unique model we\u2019ve created that marries the power of social savings and the Jameya concept to make a real and lasting impact on people\u2019s lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s equally important is that this is a validation of the Saudi Arabia and SAMA strategy to promote the creation of an ecosystem across the national financial community that encourages collaboration and partnership to help increase savings across all segments of the population as a high priority strategic goal in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Hakbah has established a range of strategic partnerships under this national vision with organizations including Riyad Bank, Fransi Bank, ANB, Alrajhi Bank, flynas and Tawuniya, the country\u2019s leading national insurance company that supports Hakbah users by providing life insurance throughout the term of their Jameya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Local Tech Startup Unleashes the Power of AI on Traditional Social Savings Practice to Make Major Impact on User Lives, National Household Savings Strategy Saudi Arabia\u2019s Hakbah was named one of the \u2018World\u2019s Top Fintechs in 2025\u2019 by CNBC for the company\u2019s growth track record, increase in savings among underbanked, and social impact using AI &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78784,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3282,3283],"class_list":["post-78783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-cnbc","tag-hakbah"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
