Overview

Mada is the national payment network of Saudi Arabia, launched in 2015 by the Saudi Central Bank (formerly the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority). It connects debit cards issued by local banks, allowing consumers to make secure online purchases, retail payments and ATM transactions through a unified domestic payment infrastructure. The network has also expanded its capabilities to support digital wallets, contactless payments and international acceptance through strategic partnerships.

Within the iGaming industry, mada is accepted by selected licensed online casinos and sportsbooks serving players in the Middle East where permitted by local regulations. Its strong banking integration, secure authentication and widespread adoption make it a trusted payment option for operators targeting the Saudi market.
