Amanah Islamic Banking Services (Arabic: الأمانة للخدمات المصرفية الإسلامية), which are part of SABB, are regulated by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency and a Shariah Supervisory Committee.

History
The British Bank of Iran and the Middle East, which became British Bank of the Middle East (BBME), opened branches in Jeddah and Al Khobar in 1950. The Jeddah branch in particular depended for its profits on the Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Makkah (Mecca). HSBC acquired BBME in 1959. In 1978 HSBC was forced to convert its branches into an affiliate, Saudi British Bank. Ownership became 60% Saudi and 40% HSBC, and HSBC has a technical services agreement with the bank.
