SAMA, Google Sign Agreement to Launch Google Pay in Saudi Arabia

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.

According to SPA, it underscores SAMA’s commitment to developing a robust digital payments infrastructure, facilitating the transition to a less cash-dependent society by offering advanced digital payment solutions that meet international standards.
Google Pay will provide users with an advanced and secure method for making purchases in stores, apps, and on the web. Users will also be able to conveniently add and manage their cards within Google Wallet.
This initiative is part of a broader series of solutions aimed at meeting market demands and strengthening Saudi Arabia’s position as a global leader in FinTech.
