Cairo - Mubasher: Emirates NBD-Egypt, a subsidiary of DFM-listed Emirates NBD, has introduced Apple Pay to its customers to make secure, contactless payments using their iPhone or Apple Watch, according to a press release.
The move aligns with Egypt’s broader push toward digital transformation and reflects the lender's strategy to adopt global banking technologies while supporting the country’s transition toward a more secure and flexible digital economy.
The service allows users to simply hold their device near a payment terminal to complete transactions, authenticated through Face ID, Touch ID, or a device passcode, alongside a one-time dynamic security code.
Apple Pay can be used across a wide range of locations, including retail stores, restaurants, pharmacies, taxis, and online platforms via apps or Safari. It offers faster checkout without repeatedly entering payment or shipping details.
Moreover, the launch includes a promotional 50% cashback offer for Emirates NBD cardholders.
