Al Baraka Islamic Bank announced launching Apple Pay for its customers, which it said offers a “safer, more secure and private way to pay” by using the power of iPhone.

The bank said that Apple Pay is accepted in grocery stores, pharmacies, taxis, restaurants, coffee shops, retail stores, and many more places. For contactless payment, customers simply hold an iPhone or an Apple Watch near a payment terminal.

Each purchase is authenticated with Face ID, Touch ID, or device epasscode, as well as a one-time unique dynamic security code.

Payments can also be made using Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad, and Mac to make faster and more convenient purchases in apps or on the web in Safari without having to create accounts or repeatedly type in shipping and billing information.

Payments can also be made in apps on Apple Watch. To set up Apple pay, in iPhone, open the Wallet app, tap +, and follow the steps to Al Baraka’s credit or debit cards. Once a customer adds a card to iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac, they can start using Apple Pay on that device right away. Customers will continue to receive all of the rewards and benefits offered by Al Baraka Islamic Bank cards.
