The percentage of electronic payments exceeded cash payments in all sectors and various economic activities in 2021, according to a study conducted by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA).
E-payments saw a combined increase for all sectors from 44% in 2019 to 62% in 2021 of the total number of transactions executed, and accounted for 94% of the total values of these transactions.
For the first time in the Kingdom, cash is no longer the most used method of payment by individuals, as e-payments have grown significantly to reach 57% in 2021 of the total number of transactions executed, compared to just 36% in 2019, SAMA said.
Government sector has almost completely converted to electronic payment methods for all outward government payments to individuals, business establishments or other government agencies.

Out of 11.3 billion transactions in the Kingdom in 2021, individuals accounted for 85% of total number of transactions (9.7 billion transactions), compared to 76% of the total in 2019.
While accounting for the lions-share of payments by volume, individuals’ payments tend to be of relatively lower value. In 2021, individual consumers payments accounted for only 11% of the total value of payment spend in the Kingdom.
