Saudi Signs Media launches Digital Screen Network inside Riyadh Metro carriages

Khaleej Times02-06-2025

Saudi Signs Media, in strategic partnership with Rotana Signs, has been awarded the expansive network of 2,688 Digital Screens inside 448 metro carriages, constituting 183 trains that operate across all 6 lines. This public transport system marks the largest urban transit system in the Kingdom that has already welcomed over 18 million passengers and conducted 162,000+ trips since its launch.
Supporting advertisers communicate with a diverse passenger profile, each carriage accommodates six Digital Screens strategically installed adjacent to the carriage sliding doors and respected journey progress displays, ensuring maximum visibility for all passengers as it is a point of focus for needed journey information.
Given the considerable passenger dwell time spent commuting from points of origin to destination, passengers within the metro carriage are subject to a confined, distraction-free environment that advertisers can capitalise on and ensure high opportunity-to-see (OTS) rates helping enhance brand recall and maximum impact. This placement, combined with the daily routine of commuters across all six lines reinforces and deepens brand presence.
Essentially the Riyadh Metro serves all members of the public and visiting individuals from abroad. This integrated Digital Screen network grants brands presence in a novel and in-demand environment that transforms every ride into a valuable advertising opportunity and touchpoint.
Commenting on this project, Hassan Zaini, the deputy CEO of sales said: "We take great pride in contributing to Riyadh's development journey. The presence of Rotana Signs' screens inside Riyadh Metro reflects our commitment to delivering innovative advertising solutions that support the city's growth and align with the objectives of Vision 2030. This expansion builds on our regional track record, including successful media operations within Dubai Metro and the Haramain High-Speed Railway. Backed by the expertise of our sister companies, we continue to empower brands through strategic platforms across the region's leading transit networks."
As Riyadh continues its transformation into a global hub of innovation and connectivity, this landmark deployment inside Riyadh Metro not only amplifies the visibility of brands but also marks a significant stride toward smarter, more immersive urban advertising experiences that move with the city.

Saudi: New SAMA rules limit credit card fees: 3% cash withdrawal, 2% foreign purchases, free e-wallet top-ups

RIYADH — The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) announced on Thursday updated rules for the issuance and operation of credit cards, aimed at lowering costs for customers and increasing levels of disclosure and transparency. The new regulations will take effect within 30 to 90 days. Among the key updates, credit card issuers must notify customers of any changes in fees via SMS, with customers allowed to terminate their agreement within 14 days of receiving the notice. E-wallet top-ups via credit cards are now free of charge. For cash withdrawals below SR2,500, fees are capped at 3% of the transaction amount. For withdrawals of SR2,500 or more, fees are limited to a maximum of SR75. International purchases will now carry a 2% fee of the transaction value. Customers are also permitted to deposit additional amounts above their credit limit and withdraw them at any time without incurring charges. SAMA worked with global payment companies to assess and reduce associated transaction costs, as part of its mission to enhance Saudi Arabia's digital payment ecosystem and provide a diverse array of payment options for customers and visitors. Transparency measures now require issuers to notify customers immediately of any financial transactions and to send account statements via SMS. Issuers must also provide tools for customers to estimate rewards and international charges before making a purchase. Regarding repayment, customers may pay off their full outstanding balance without incurring late fees, with a mandatory grace period of at least 25 days. The regulations also unify disclosure templates for all fees, charges, and benefits within credit card agreements, promoting greater clarity for consumers. Previously, cash withdrawals carried fees of SR75 for transactions up to SR5,000 and 3% of the transaction amount for amounts over SR5,000, with a maximum fee of SR300. The new cap of SR75 for larger transactions offers more favorable terms. International transactions are now subject to a clear 2% fee, and additional charges include SR25 for invalid transaction disputes and account statement requests. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.
