  • Apple Pay uses Face ID, Touch ID, and unique transaction codes for security.
  • The National Bank of Egypt, Banque Misr, and CIB support Apple Pay.

Apple Pay

Mastercard, in collaboration with the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and Egyptian Banks Company (EBC), has launched Apple Pay in Egypt, offering a secure and private payment method for in-store, in-app, and online transactions.

To use Apple Pay in stores, customers double-click the side button and hold their iPhone or Apple Watch near a payment terminal. Each transaction is authenticated using Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, along with a unique security code.

Apple Pay is now accepted in various locations, including grocery stores, pharmacies, taxis, restaurants, and retail shops. Customers can also use it on iPhone, iPad, and Mac for faster app and online purchases, avoiding the need to enter card details or billing information repeatedly.

Apple Pay does not store actual credit or debit card numbers on the device or Apple servers. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is created, encrypted, and stored in the Secure Element, a certified chip designed to protect payment information.

Mohamed Assem, Country Manager for Egypt, Iraq, and Lebanon, Mastercard, stated: “We are excited to bring Apple Pay to cardholders in Egypt and further drive the adoption of digital payments in the country. Apple pay empowers consumers with a safer, more convenient way to pay, whether in-store or online.”
