How big is the riyal P2P market on each exchange?

USDT ad counts in Saudi riyals as we found them on 10 October 2026:

Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest P2P markets in the Arab world, and Binance has more than twice as many ads as the next exchange. OKX is a strong second choice in Saudi Arabia.

Bank transfer or wallet?

• Bank transfer (Al Rajhi, SNB, Alinma...): the most widely used option. If you can, pick a seller at the same bank as you, since transfers within one bank are usually faster.
• STC Pay / urpay / barq: a good fit if you prefer digital wallets. Only send money to the number shown in the order details.

Living in Saudi Arabia and sending money home?

Many residents of Saudi Arabia use USDT to send money to their families: you buy USDT with riyals here, send it to your family's Binance account as a transfer to a Binance user (no network needed), and they sell it for their local currency on P2P.

Before you start, make sure the exchange is available in your family's country. For example, to send to Syria use Binance (OKX and Bybit aren't available to Syrians), while for Egypt every exchange works. Details: Withdraw USDT in Syria · Withdraw USDT in Egypt.
