Riyadh - Exclusive Sharikat Mubasher: The Saudi fintech company Barq has served four million customers through its digital wallet since its launch six months ago, according to Digital Marketing Manager Abdullah Alhaizan.

Speaking to Sharikat Mubasher on the sidelines of LEAP 2025, Alhaizan stated that Barq's digital wallet gained one million users in the past 21 days, making it one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the Kingdom.

He emphasized that the wallet offers all digital financial services that customers need, including local and international remittance, transfers, cards, a marketplace, and a games center.

Alhaizan explained that Barq’s wallet is completely free of charge for all transactions, which sets it apart from other fintech companies. He also highlighted the company's deep understanding of the market and customers' needs as a key factor in its success.
