The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and Google have signed an agreement to introduce Google Pay in Saudi Arabia in 2025 through the national payment system, mada.
This initiative aligns with SAMA’s efforts to enhance the Kingdom’s digital payments ecosystem as part of Saudi Vision 2030, aiming to reduce reliance on cash by offering advanced digital payment solutions that meet international standards.
Google Pay will provide users with a secure method for purchasing in stores, apps, and on the web. Users can also add and manage their cards within Google Wallet.
This development is part of broader efforts to meet market demands and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s position as a global leader in fintech.
