Apple's plans for global contactless payments domination have taken another step forward with the arrival of Apple Pay in the UAE today.
The service is available on Macs that are 2012 or newer for online payments as well as iOS devices such as the iPhone SE, iPhone 6 and later, and Apple Watch.
At launch you'll be able to set up Apple Pay will through Visa or Mastercard from the following six banks: Emirates NBD, Mashreq, HSBC, RAKBANK, Standard Chartered and Emirates Islamic. More banks are expected to join and, considering that Apple Pay supports American Express in other regions, it's probably a matter of time before that is also supported in the UAE.
According to Apple "tens of thousands" of locations are supporting Apple Pay in the UAE. Some o these include Starbucks, Debenhams, Boots, Virgin Megastore, Carrefour UAE, VOX Cinemas and Ikea. Apple also listed three apps that support Apple Pay which are Ounass, Namshi, and Babyshop.
