Marking a new step toward digital transformation, Bank of Alexandria has announced the availability of the smart payment option "Apple Pay" for credit, debit, and prepaid "Meeza" cardholders, reflecting its commitment to providing advanced payment solutions that keep pace with technological progress.

Fast Shopping Across Smart Devices

This feature empowers users to complete purchases instantly with a single touch at retail stores and restaurants using iPhone and Apple Watch via contactless technology. It also simplifies digital payments across websites and apps on iPhone, Mac, and iPad. The system requires devices to be updated to iOS 17.5 or later (starting from iPhone XS) and watchOS 10.5 or later for Apple Watch.

Activation Methods on the Digital Wallet

Customers can add their banking cards to "Apple Wallet" through three simple mechanisms:

Direct Link: Using the "Add to Apple Wallet" button within the bank's mobile app.

Automatic Activation: Direct setup inside the Wallet app using bank account credentials.

Manual Verification: Scanning the card or typing its details, followed by entering the One-Time Password (OTP) sent to the registered phone number.

Advanced Protection & Free Usage

The service offers the flexibility to switch between multiple cards and set a primary card for shopping, while ensuring maximum security as every payment requires confirmation via Face ID, Touch ID, or Passcode. Adding cards is completely free with no extra fees beyond standard card usage charges.
