Anil Nair appointed as Country Head – Saudi Arabia at Veefin, marking a significant leadership move within the global trade and supply chain finance ecosystem. Based in Riyadh, he now leads Veefin’s growth strategy in the Kingdom, driving market expansion, client acquisition, and the adoption of the company’s cutting-edge supply chain finance technology across major sectors. His appointment reflects Veefin’s intent to strengthen its footprint in the Middle East and support financial institutions with next-generation digital SCF solutions.
Anil brings over two decades of rich expertise spanning structured trade finance, receivable finance, supply chain finance, product development, and credit risk management. Before joining Veefin, he built an exceptional 12-year legacy with SAB (formerly HSBC Saudi Arabia), where he was instrumental in establishing and scaling the Structured Trade Finance division. He led the creation and management of a $3 billion SCF and Receivables Finance portfolio from the ground up—achieving sustained double-digit growth, launching the first digital SCF program in Saudi Arabia, and securing several high-value mandates across oil & gas, telecom, retail, construction, health, and utilities.
Earlier in his career, Anil spent seven years with HSBC in India, where he contributed to corporate banking, trade finance, and factoring solutions across South India and national markets. His roles as Vice President – GTRF and Regional Head – Factoring Services saw him drive specialized structured trade deals, onboard new-to-bank corporates, and ensure strong credit portfolio quality. Prior to HSBC, he held key credit and trade finance responsibilities at HDFC Bank and Canara Bank – Can Bank Factors, gaining deep expertise in credit appraisal, financial analysis, and client portfolio management.
In his new mandate at Veefin, Anil is expected to accelerate digital transformation for banks and corporates across Saudi Arabia, leveraging Veefin’s advanced SCF technology stack to redefine efficiency, transparency, and speed in trade finance workflows. His strong understanding of the Kingdom’s financial landscape, coupled with his proven track record in high-value structured deals, positions him to lead Veefin’s next phase of strategic expansion in the region.
