Abdullah bin Sulaiman Al Rajhi, Chairman of alrajhi bank, affirmed that empowering social security beneficiaries is a core pillar of the bank’s corporate social responsibility strategy. He stressed the bank’s dedication to advancing Saudization at all levels, while providing high-quality training and employment opportunities for the Saudi youth. Today, 90% of the bank’s workforce are Saudi nationals, with women making up 35%.

Al Rajhi pointed to the recent milestone achieved by Atmaal, the bank’s business process outsourcing (BPO) subsidiary, which employed 477 social security beneficiaries. This initiative was delivered in partnership with the Ministry of Human Resources & Social Development and Sawaed Business Services under the Masarat Al Tamkeen program.

“We are proud to actively support initiatives that empower Saudis,” Al Rajhi said. “Through public sector partnerships, we aim to provide a professional and motivating environment that meets the aspirations of national talent and contributes to the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030. Human capital remains the true engine of growth.” He added that the bank’s workforce is young and dynamic, with an average employee age of 30 years.

He further explained that the initiative underscores Atmaal’s dual role as a strategic BPO provider and a partner in national development, by aligning market needs with the capabilities of social protection program beneficiaries. This is achieved through identifying qualified talent and placing them in sustainable career paths.

The program also integrates with alrajhi bank’s broader ecosystem for professional growth. Through its internal “Nomo” platform, employees gain access to job mobility across subsidiaries, enabling them to strengthen their skills, broaden their expertise, and build long-term careers within the group. The bank also continues its Fresh Graduate Program, hiring and training more than 100 Saudi graduates each year across diverse departments.

The total workforce of alrajhi bank and its subsidiaries has now exceeded 23,000 employees, reflecting a 65% growth over the past five years in line with the bank’s ongoing expansion and commitment to attracting and developing top national talent.
