Saudi Arabia Introduces Google Pay by 2025 Through mada System

The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has recently signed an agreement with Google to introduce Google Pay in Saudi Arabia by 2025 through the national payment system, “mada.” The initiative is a significant step in aligning with Saudi Vision 2030, a strategic framework aiming to diversify the Kingdom’s economy and reduce its reliance on oil. By enhancing the Kingdom’s digital payments ecosystem, SAMA is committed to building a robust digital payment infrastructure that meets international standards and aims to reduce dependency on cash. Google Pay will not only offer users a secure platform for making purchases in stores, apps, and online but also allow for easy management of their cards within Google Wallet.

This new service is part of a broader strategy to position Saudi Arabia as a global leader in FinTech, a sector that combines financial services and technology to create innovative solutions. The introduction of Google Pay through the mada system is expected to transform how transactions are conducted in the Kingdom, making them more efficient and secure. With the backing of SAMA, this collaboration is set to elevate Saudi Arabia’s payment landscape, ensuring that digital transactions are streamlined and adhere to the highest security standards.
