On Sunday, the Qatar Central Bank (QCB) introduced Apple Pay to its Himyan cardholders in Qatar in accordance with the Third Financial Sector Strategy and the Third National Development Strategy 2024–2030. In-store, in-app, and online payments are made simple, safe, and private with Apple Pay.
According to QCB, users can pay in-store by simply double-clicking the side button, authenticating, and holding their Apple Watch or iPhone close to a payment terminal to make a contactless payment. Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, along with a one-time, unique dynamic security code, ensure that every Apple Pay transaction is safe.
According to the Bank, Apple Pay can be used in pharmacies, grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, retail establishments, and many other locations that take contactless payments. Additionally, users of the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac can use Apple Pay to make quicker and easier purchases through applications or online without creating accounts or continually entering card information, shipping and billing information, or contact details.
