Arab Bank has officially launched Apple Pay in Jordan, making Jordan the first country in the Levant region to support the digital payment platform. With e-commerce and contactless payments on the rise, Apple Pay adds a secure and convenient option for Apple device users to pay in-store and online.
The launch includes support from multiple Jordanian banks, including Capital Bank, Blink, Ahli Bank, and Bank of Jordan, expanding access to Apple Pay across a wider customer base.
How to use Apple Pay in Jordan
To use Apple Pay, customers need a compatible iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac along with a valid debit or credit card from Arab Bank or other participating banks. Cards can be added via the Wallet app, where users follow step-by-step prompts to complete the setup.
Once activated, Apple Pay allows users to make quick and secure payments at contactless terminals, inside apps, and on websites. The service also supports public transit systems, ride-hailing apps, and charitable donations through mobile apps.
Why Apple Pay is a game-changer for Jordan
Apple Pay uses tokenization technology to protect payment information, making it more secure than traditional credit cards. No actual card numbers are stored or shared with merchants, reducing the risk of fraud or data breaches.
The launch of Apple Pay by Arab Bank is a milestone in Jordan’s fintech development and is expected to drive faster adoption of cashless and mobile payments across the country. It also aligns with broader trends in the Middle East, where Apple Pay is becoming increasingly available in markets like Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
