Saudi Arabia to launch flexible salary service for early wage access

Dubai: Saudi Arabia is set to roll out “Flexible Salary,” a new service that will allow employees to access a portion of their earned wages before the official payday.

The initiative was announced by the Saudi Press Agency, following a cooperation agreement between Mudad—a leading Saudi financial technology platform—and Khazna Financial Technology. The product is designed to offer greater financial flexibility for employees while strengthening employer-employee relations.

Salary access anytime

Under the new system, workers will be able to withdraw part of their salary at any point in the pay cycle. This aims to provide relief during financial emergencies and reduce dependence on short-term loans or credit.

Fintech collaboration

Both Mudad and Khazna emphasised that the partnership reflects a shared vision for digital transformation in human resources and payroll management across the Kingdom.

The service is also intended to enhance employee morale and productivity by offering more control over personal finances.

Tailored for evolving labour market

Mudad, a semi-governmental fintech entity, specialises in delivering smart payroll solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia. The company is at the forefront of efforts to digitise salary systems and meet the needs of the Kingdom’s dynamic workforce.SAudi job
