UK-based fintech infrastructure provider NayaOne has launched Saudi Arabia\u2019s first fully Saudi-hosted Vendor Delivery Infrastructure (VDI) platform, supported by regional business expansion specialist AstroLabs.<\/p>\n

The launch marks NayaOne\u2019s official entry into the Saudi market and is designed to support financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and fintechs, in developing, testing, and deploying products within weeks.<\/p>\n

Backed by the UK\u2019s Department for Business and Trade (DBT), the Saudi-hosted platform connects local institutions to both the domestic technology ecosystem and NayaOne\u2019s global network.<\/p>\n

The platform provides access to synthetic data assets and modular testing environments aimed at reducing proof-of-concept cycles from months to days, while maintaining compliance and security standards.<\/p>\n

NayaOne, which recently partnered with the UK\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Nvidia to provide infrastructure for a new AI sandbox, is now expanding its presence in the Gulf.<\/p>\n

The company sees this development as a key milestone in strengthening UK-Saudi ties in fintech.<\/p>\n

\u201cHosting our platform inside the Kingdom removes data-sovereignty friction and lets institutions move from idea to execution in weeks,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

said Karan Jain, NayaOne\u2019s Founder and CEO.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are grateful to have flagship clients, partners like AstroLabs, support from the KSA ecosystem, and encouragement from the UK Government to grow our impact globally. At NayaOne, we look forward to helping other UK businesses who are interested in operating in KSA.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Several Saudi financial institutions and fintech firms are already using the sandbox to test applications in areas such as embedded finance, SME lending, cybersecurity, remittances, and AI.<\/p>\n

Additional participants are expected to join, further embedding the VDI platform as part of the country\u2019s financial innovation infrastructure.<\/p>\n

UK Minister for Investment Baroness Gustafsson CBE said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe UK is home to some of the best tech businesses in the world, so I\u2019m delighted that NayaOne will help boost financial innovation in KSA, reflecting the strength of UK-Saudi collaboration in digital and financial innovation. Our upcoming modern Industrial Strategy will be international from the start, working and deepening our partnerships with countries like Saudi Arabia to support our economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
