Apple has expanded its payment platform, Apple Pay, to Egypt, following its introduction to the United Arab Emirates and Chile earlier this year. The service is now available through three partner banks in Egypt: National Bank of Egypt, Banque Misr, and the Commercial International Bank (CIB).
Apple Pay Expands to Egypt
With Apple Pay, iPhone and Apple Watch users can make contactless payments in stores and online, without the need for cash or cards. To use the service, users simply need to register their supported credit and debit cards in the Apple Wallet app.
Apple Pay is not limited to in-store transactions, as it also works with some apps and websites, allowing users to easily check out with just a few taps. The service is also available on the Mac and iPad through Apple Pay on the web.
Global Expansion
Apple Pay is now available in more than 80 countries worldwide, with recent expansions to Uruguay and Paraguay. The service has been rolled out to several countries in the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America, making it a convenient payment option for Apple device users globally.
What’s Next?
As Apple Pay continues to expand, it’s likely that more Egyptian banks will begin rolling out support for the service in the coming weeks. For iPhone and Apple Watch users in Egypt, this means more payment options and a more seamless shopping experience.
If you’re an Apple Pay user, be sure to take advantage of this new feature and start making contactless payments in Egypt. If you’re not already using Apple Pay, now’s the perfect time to sign up and experience the convenience of mobile payments.
