Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Dal, a Saudi company specializing in regulatory technology and financial advisory services, has announced that its proprietary AYN technology has earned Saudi Tech membership under the national Made in Saudi program. The milestone highlights the Kingdom’s growing technological capabilities and the role of Saudi professionals in developing innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of the financial sector.
Developed by Saudi talent with an in-depth understanding of the local regulatory landscape, AYN reflects Dal’s commitment to building technology grounded in industry expertise. The technology combines regulatory knowledge with advanced digital capabilities to simplify compliance processes, improve operational efficiency, and help financial institutions navigate increasingly complex regulatory requirements.
Saudi Tech, an initiative under the Made in Saudi program, provides a national identity for locally developed technology products and solutions. The designation aims to showcase Saudi Arabia’s technological capabilities while strengthening the visibility and competitiveness of homegrown innovations in domestic and international markets.
