SAMA's Open Banking Licence is Live. Is Your Platform Ready to Prove It?

On 26 March 2026, the KSA Central Bank moved Open Banking out of its controlled sandbox and into a formal licensing regime, granting its first licences to Neotek and Lean Technologies on the same day.

More approvals came through the year, including in the second and third quarters.

The Smarter Safety Net: Modernizing User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with AI

Every engineering leader knows the scenario: sprint tickets are closed, unit coverage shows green across the board, API pipelines pass without a hitch, and the build is tagged "ready for release." Yet, the moment the software reaches actual business users, reality hits. A multi-tier approval workflow breaks on a regional tax calculation. An enterprise customer encounters friction during a custom bulk checkout.

Systematizing Interface Assets Across Distributed Teams

Managing a React component library for five independent product teams reveals a specific type of asset rot. Repositories fill up with disjointed vector files incredibly fast. One squad grabs a thick-lined navigation graphic for their dashboard. Another imports a hyper-detailed two-color asset for a settings panel. Suddenly, your platform interface looks like a patchwork quilt. Users notice these inconsistencies immediately.

Building an Agentic SOC on a Stream

Modern Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are transitioning towards agentic architectures. Traditionally, SOCs relied on rigid, rule-based automation and high human effort. We built an Agentic SOC powered by AI agents that don't just follow rigid, hardcoded rules, but also autonomously investigate, reason, and act like human analysts.

I stopped re-explaining my test project every single morning

Before every session, I used to type some version of this: Sixty-two words of setup, and all of it gone the moment I closed the window. Here is the same request in week two, after the assistant had learned how my project works: That is the whole feature. Everything below is how it works and what I learned building it. THE SHORT ANSWER.
