Crypto Brokers in Saudi Arabia, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Saudi Arabia regulates capital markets through the CMA under the Capital Market Law (2003). Licensed local broker-dealers — Al Rajhi Capital, Riyad Capital, NCB Capital (SNB), HSBC Saudi Arabia — provide access to Tadawul-listed equities and Sukuk. CMA does NOT licence retail OTC FX/CFD providers; SAMA's foreign-exchange framework is broad but does not specifically regulate retail margin FX. International CFD brokers (Exness, AvaTrade, IG Saudi Arabia partner offerings) operate via offshore entities or licensed regional partners.

Tax

Saudi Arabia does not levy personal income tax on residents (citizens or expatriates). Capital gains for individual residents on Tadawul-listed securities are not taxable. Zakat (2.5% wealth tax) applies to Saudi/GCC nationals' qualifying assets including investment portfolios. Non-residents trading via Saudi brokerages may be subject to 5% withholding tax on dividends.

Retail trading rules

No CMA-set leverage cap because retail OTC CFDs are not licensed; Tadawul-listed margin trading falls under regulated securities-firm rules. SAMA foreign-exchange controls are minimal compared to most emerging markets — outbound retail capital flows are largely unrestricted, but bank documentation is required for large international transfers. The CMA Investor Awareness Centre publishes warnings on unauthorised platforms targeting Saudi residents.
