Money20/20 ME by the numbers
Every figure links to where it came from. Attendance for an event that has not happened is a projection, and each row says so rather than presenting it as a count.

What is Money20/20 ME?
Money20/20 Middle East is the GCC edition of the fintech show that also runs Las Vegas, Amsterdam and Bangkok. The 2026 dates are 14 to 16 September in Riyadh. It is a payments and banking room aimed at the Kingdom and the wider Gulf, not a copy of the Las Vegas floor. LEAP, the Kingdom's large tech exhibition, is a different week and a different buyer.
Who goes to Money20/20 ME?
GCC banks, fintechs licensing in the Kingdom, processors and the funds covering Vision 2030 financial infrastructure. If your buyer is a US card network, wait for Las Vegas in October. If your buyer sits in Riyadh, this is the Money20/20 that is actually in their timezone.
Money20/20 ME side events
The official networking sits on the Money20/20 Middle East site. Search Money20/20 Riyadh side event and you will find dinners and embassy receptions once the week is close. There is no TOKEN2049-style public sheet. Aspire does not run those nights.
Money20/20 ME tickets and costs
Register on money2020.com. Confirm the live pass price and the venue name on the Middle East site before you book a hotel, because Riyadh exhibition venues move between editions and a listing that only says Riyadh is not an address. September in Riyadh is still hot. A hotel near the venue beats a long daily drive. Visa rules for Saudi Arabia are not the same as for Dubai. Check yours.

Live price is on money2020.com. No simple public tariff was on the pass page when last checked. Money20/20 passes
Getting to Riyadh
King Khalid International Airport to central Riyadh is 30 to 50 minutes. Ride-hailing is the default. Confirm which venue the 2026 edition is actually using before you pick a hotel on the other side of the city.
Where to stay for Money20/20 ME
Stay next to the published venue, not in a landmark hotel across town. Riyadh traffic at peak will eat a two-hour round trip on a three-day pass. The official site is the source for the building name.
What to know before booking Money20/20 ME
Do not confuse this with LEAP. LEAP is a multi-day tech exhibition, next dated 12 to 15 April 2027 at RECC Malham. Money20/20 Middle East is a three-day fintech conference in September. Same country, different room, different month.

14 to 16 September 2026 in Riyadh. That is the date on the official Money20/20 pass page. Confirm the building on the Middle East site before you book a hotel. A listing that only says Riyadh is not an address.
Is this the same as Money20/20 Las Vegas?
Same organiser, different room. USA is 18 to 21 October 2026 at The Venetian. Middle East is mid-September in Riyadh and is aimed at GCC banks and fintechs. People who work both markets often do both rather than picking one.

Do I need a visa for Riyadh?
Many nationalities now use an eVisa or visa on arrival, and many do not. Check the Saudi official visa service against your own passport. Do not copy advice from somebody flying in from a different country. Dubai rules do not apply here.
Who organises it?
Money20/20, the same company behind the US, Europe and Asia editions. Aspire does not run it and has no stand on the floor. The pass page is money2020.com. Confirm the Riyadh venue name there before you book a hotel.
When is Money20/20 Europe?
The 2026 Amsterdam edition has finished. The next one is 8 to 10 June 2027 at the RAI. Official Europe site. Use that if your buyers are in SEPA rather than in the GCC.
