"Saudi Arabia's financial market has tremendous potential with rapid growth. It requires involvement and participation of a wide range of financial institutions and platforms to fully meet the demand. We believe that VCFC is ready to bring its proven technology and big data driven service offerings from other markets to the kingdom, and serve Saudi financial sector together with its local partners." said Jerry Li, Managing Partner of eWTP Arabia Capital.

eWTP Arabia Capital ("eWTPA"), shareholder of VCFC, is a growth stage venture fund based in Saudi Arabia and China.

The collaboration combines VCGL's industry-leading financial services with eWTPA's strong capital base, giving VCFC unique competitive advantages of creating a powerful platform that provides integrated, cross-market, multi-asset investment services and contributes to the kingdom's Vision 2030 FinTech strategy.
