Mastercard brings Apple Pay to customers in Kuwait

Kuwait City, Kuwait — Mastercard today brings Apple Pay to its cardholders in Kuwait. Apple Pay is providing a safer, more secure and private way to pay that helps customers avoid handing their payment card to someone else, touching physical buttons or exchanging cash — and uses the power of iPhone to protect every transaction.

Customers simply hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a payment terminal to make a contactless payment. Every Apple Pay purchase is secure because it is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code. Apple Pay is accepted in grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, coffee shops, online stores, and all other outlets where contactless Mastercard payments are accepted.

Erdem Çakar, Country Manager, Kuwait and Qatar, Mastercard, commented: “We are delighted to bring all the benefits of Apple Pay to the people Kuwait, further accelerating the market’s dynamic digital transformation journey. This launch marks the next era in convenience, security and ease for consumers and merchants alike.”

Customers can also use Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to make faster and more convenient purchases in apps or on the web in Safari without having to create accounts or repeatedly
