Yes. Debt-based crowdfunding is regulated by SAMA, which has dedicated rules and licensing requirements for debt-based crowdfunding companies.
This answer refers specifically to SAMA’s regulated Debt-Based Crowdfunding category. A debt security offered through a securities-market structure can still require a separate Saudi CMA analysis, so the legal form of the instrument remains decisive.
The instrument’s legal form determines the regulator, so do not classify a crowdfunding platform solely by the word “crowdfunding.”
Regulator: Saudi Central Bank (SAMA)
Primary sources: SAMA — Rules for Debt-Based Crowdfunding
Directional — not legal advice. Verify with the regulator before committing.
