Qatar Central Bank (QCB) has announced the readiness of banks to officially launch the mobile payment service Google Pay in the country after completing the necessary tests. 

At the moment, all global digital wallet services for cards such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay are now accepted in Qatar, enabling visitors, especially during the World Cup, to process and complete their digital payments. 

To enjoy the service, users will have to simply open the Google Wallet app or download it from the Google Play Store and follow the instructions to register their bank cards. Once registered,

customers can enjoy secure payments wherever Google Pay is accepted, knowing that the payments are encrypted before, during, and after every purchase. 

The secure and convenient payment method from Google will be available to users of Android devices.
