Derayah combines Saudi securities dealing, international brokerage and Smart managed portfolios. The self-directed and managed routes have different charges and cash-access rules. Within Global, the current product page advertises Lite, Pro and Plus, while a separate detailed tariff retains the Global/Global Plus distinction.[8][11][1][3]
