Apple Pay and Google Pay services in Karwa taxis

Mowasalat (Karwa), the primary transport service provider in Qatar, and QNB Group, the largest financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, have collaborated towards enhancing mobile payment via Apple Pay and Google Pay.

The launching of Apple Pay and Google Pay, which secures payments using Touch ID or Face ID on compatible iOS and Android devices, is an important step by Mowasalat and QNB to promote payment through smart devices.

Mowasalat is the first merchant to enable this service in Qatar, while QNB will become the Mastercard Payment Gateway Services provider, offering its customers mobile payment solutions that are compatible with the best international standards.

Meanwhile, customers with already activated Apple and Google Pay accounts will be able to pay their Mowasalat’s Taxi and Limousine rides through the system, until the service is approved for local banks, too.

Mowasalat CEO Fahad Saad Al Qahtani said " The activation of Apple Pay and Google Pay services comes within our ongoing efforts that we started with the brand new Karwa Taxi App. We constantly embrace more digital solutions to make our services easily and safely available for all. In a nutshell – we are on the way to make Mowasalat part of everyone’s everyday life."
