Back in 1933, brothers Mohammed and Abdullah Ibrahim Al Subeaei launched a fledgling currency exchange company. Today, the Al Subeaei Group of Companies has evolved to become one of the most successful and reputed trading houses in the Kingdom.
After the Second World War, as the value of Saudi Arabia’s oil deposits became apparent, Al Subeaei Currency Exchange Co was followed by financial investment and banking businesses.
