Türkiye to Saudi Arabia without the detour
Turkish exporters, freelancers and expatriates hold USD on Grey and send from there, avoiding the lira leg. Looking at Riyadh, the picture is clear. North Africans travel to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage and work, and family ties run deep.
Grey converts USD to SAR in one step and pays into Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi National Bank, Riyad Bank, Alinma or any other bank in Saudi Arabia. Your recipient sees a normal SAR credit and never needs to open a Grey account.
How sending to Saudi Arabia works
Sign up
Opening takes a passport or kimlik and a selfie. What you get is a foreign-currency account in Istanbul that can pay out to Saudi Arabia. Grey works with licensed partners serving Türkiye.
Fund
There's no local currency top-up in Türkiye. Your Grey balance is whatever foreign income you've received, and that's what pays for Riyadh.
Send
Paste the 24-character Saudi IBAN from the recipient's Al Rajhi, SNB or Riyad Bank account. Grey shows the SAR before you confirm.
Why the rate matters more than the fee
The SAR figure Grey quotes in Istanbul is the figure Al Rajhi credits. There's no second conversion on the Saudi Arabia side to eat into it.
No adjustments after the fact
The USD to SAR rate you see at confirmation is the rate applied. If the dollars move between your tap in Istanbul and settlement in Riyadh, your recipient's amount doesn't.
That matters when you've promised a specific figure in riyals.
Why Türkiye to Saudi Arabia deserves a proper rate
Anyone in Ankara who has sent to Al Rajhi the old way knows this. Money for Umrah or Hajj is saved for, sometimes for years, and it needs to reach the right account intact. The same is true of a student's allowance in Madinah. Grey gives a sender in Istanbul a locked rate, a visible fee and a SAR deposit that arrives whole.
Delivered like a local payment
Your recipient receives SAR at Al Rajhi Bank, Saudi National Bank, Riyad Bank, Alinma or any other Saudi bank as an ordinary deposit. The transfer shows as settled in your Grey app in Istanbul at the same moment.
Any Saudi bank
Enter the account number and bank name. The SAR posts directly to that account.

Funding, step by step

Why senders in Istanbul switch
North Africans travel to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage and work, and family ties run deep. Grey exists on this route so that the SAR arriving in Riyadh is never a surprise to the person who sent it from Istanbul.
Senders in Istanbul see two numbers, fee and rate, before anything moves. SAR then lands in any Saudi bank.
