In the Czech Republic, a number of banks and other financial institutions are activating Apple Pay for their customers. Users are reporting adding their card successfully to their digital wallets from Air Bank, MONETA Money Bank, Ceska sporitelna, and payments company Twisto. The two largest banks, Česká spořitelna and Komerční banka, are apparently not as yet offering support.

Saudi Arabia is also show indications of an Apple Pay rollout, as Apple’s Apple Pay website has gone live and lists Visa and Mastercard support for Al Rajhi Bank, NCB, MADA, Riyad Bank, Alinma Bank, and Bank Aljazira.



In the country, several retailers will be accepting Apple’s payments solution in return for goods and services, including Carrefour, counterpoint, KFC, Bershka, baby shop, MacDonalds, and Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and others.
