Frequently asked questions

Which exchanges accept International wire transfer in Saudi Arabia?

Of the 3 exchanges we recommend in Saudi Arabia, Binance, Coinmama accept International wire transfer for funding purchases.

Is buying bitcoin with International wire transfer legal in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Arabia has no law that criminalizes individuals owning or trading bitcoin, but there is also no licensing framework: the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and the Capital Market Authority have warned against cryptocurrency trading since a 2018 Standing Committee statement, and banks are barred from facilitating crypto transactions. Cryptocurrencies are not legal tender. Regulators have been studying a framework, but until one exists the practical status remains unclear, and buyers rely on foreign platforms with no local protections.
