The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and Google have signed an agreement to introduce Google Pay in Saudi Arabia during 2025 through the national payment system mada, according to a press release from SAMA.
This agreement aligns with SAMA’s ongoing efforts to enhance the Kingdom’s digital payments ecosystem as part of Saudi Vision 2030.
