Financial technology provider Centroid Solutions has completed integration with SNB Capital, Saudi Arabia's largest investment bank, enabling international brokers to directly access the kingdom's expanding equity market.
Centroid Solutions Expands Middle East Reach with SNB Capital Integration
The integration allows brokers using Centroid's connectivity platform to execute trades on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul) through SNB Capital's infrastructure, expanding foreign trading access to the Middle East's largest stock market.
Saudi Arabia continues to attract increased international investment attention amid economic reforms and market liberalization efforts. SNB Capital, with $69.3 billion in assets under management, stands as the dominant player in Saudi Arabia's asset management industry.
The partnership follows recent integrations with global market data provider Iress and other major financial institutions. The company has been building out its suite of trading infrastructure solutions, including the launch of a proprietary liquidity aggregator earlier this year.
The integration is being implemented through Centroid Bridge, the company's connectivity engine that provides liquidity management and order execution capabilities. This system will now enable direct market access to Saudi equities while maintaining compliance with local trading regulations.
SNB Capital brings institutional capability to the partnership, operating across multiple business lines, including securities trading, asset management, and investment banking services.
Interactive Brokers also recently partnered with SNB Capital, providing its clients access to Saudi stocks.
