Jisr, Saudi Arabia’s leading HR and People Tech platform, has announced a significant expansion into financial services with the launch of Jisr Spend, the Kingdom’s first locally developed, end-to-end expense management solution. The launch, which coincided with the unveiling of a refreshed brand identity at Money20/20, marks the company’s evolution from a single-suite HR provider into a comprehensive SaaS platform that unifies HR, Talent, and Finance.
Introducing Jisr Spend
Jisr Spend integrates corporate cards, reimbursements, travel booking, and automated policy enforcement into a single, seamless platform. Designed to be fully compliant with VAT and ZATCA regulations, the solution leverages integrated HR and finance data to provide business leaders with real-time visibility and control over corporate expenses. By automating manual tasks, Jisr Spend aims to save finance teams up to 13 hours per employee each week, while also strengthening policy compliance and reducing the risk of fraud.
From HR Suite to Integrated SaaS Platform
This strategic move into fintech signals a new chapter for the company. Mohammed Akkar, CEO of Jisr, stated, “Since our start, Jisr has become the most trusted Saudi company for HR solutions. With Jisr Spend and our new brand identity, we are entering a new chapter, expanding into finance and reinforcing our role as pioneers, innovators, and enablers of digital progress across the Kingdom.” The expansion aligns with Jisr’s mission to become a central growth partner for businesses navigating digital transformation under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
A New Brand for a New Era
The company’s new brand identity is inspired by the concept of a bridge—the literal meaning of “Jisr” in Arabic—symbolizing connection, transformation, and flow. The updated design features a bold black-and-white foundation complemented by suite-specific colors drawn from Saudi landscapes. This visual refresh is intended to reflect Jisr’s evolution into a multi-suite SaaS platform that connects people, processes, and systems.
