Abstract:

It examines how the innovative banking services and products introduced by SABB helped it emerge as the fastest growing retail banker in the country by the 1990s. The case begins with a background note on HSBC and comments briefly on its worldwide growth strategies. Thereafter, HSBC's entry into the Saudi Arabian market and its role in the development of Saudi Arabia's banking industry is discussed. Apart from giving a detailed explanation of the banking services provided by SABB, the case also examines the rationale behind its decision to introduce Islamic banking products and services and explains them in detail.

The bank's focus on launching value added banking services to its customers in the early 21st century is discussed.
