After introducing Tap to Pay on iPhone in the United Arab Emirates and Chile, Apple is now launching Apple Pay in Egypt. This was confirmed by Apple following the recent expansion of its payments platform in Uruguay last week. The contactless payment service is also available in Mongolia.
Apple Pay now available in Egypt
THE Apple website in Egypt has been updated for the official launch of Apple Pay in the country. The company announced the launch of Apple Pay in partnership with three major banks: National Bank of Egypt, Banque Misr and Commercial International Bank (CIB). As usual, more Egyptian banks are expected to support Apple Pay in the coming weeks.
Egypt, along with Mongolia, are the 79th and 80th countries to support Apple Pay, with France having access since 2016.
What is Apple Pay for?
With Apple Pay, iPhone and Apple Watch users can make contactless payments in stores by simply registering their compatible credit and debit cards in Apple’s Cards app (or Wallet). Additionally, Apple Pay is integrated with various apps and websites, enabling quick and easy payments with just a few clicks. This service is also accessible on Mac and iPad for web purchases.
Apple Pay is now operational in more than 80 countries around the world according to official page. Last month, Apple extended the “Pay” platform to banks in Paraguay.
