Apple Pay Has Launched In Saudi Today And We Can Already Use It In So Many Places
Apple has teased us about the launch of Apple Pay since last year giving no confirmed dates.
Even the Saudi National Payments Scheme (MADA) posted on its Twitter account way back in October confirming the same.
#mada, the Saudi National Payments scheme, is pleased to confirm it will support Apple Pay, enabling our customers to make easy and secure payments, when the service launches in KSA soon.

After months of speculation, earlier this week local banks started posting on social media about Apple Pay compatibility.
