This definitely isn’t a coincidence, after posting about the lack of news on Apple Pay this morning, it was just announced that Apple Pay will be launching in Kuwait on December 7th. Source

They’re now launching the ability to add Kuwait based cards
Hahaha I was just looking to see if you’d updated your post!
Can you post about Disney+ cartoon movies with Arabic / Egyptian Dub? Can’t get this overseas. Maybe they’ll listed to you lol
cant add the cards yet on the mobile…😒
the post says December 7, the title says next month… so yeah obviously you can’t right now
Right time to move back to an iPhone.
Every almost 5 years I make the stupidest mistake of moving from and iphone to android just because of a gimmick of a feature.
Later only to regret it rofl.
Isn’t there an equivalent Samsung Pay feature though? wonder if that is operational in Kuwait.
It is. The only two missing payment services from the big companies is Apple Pay and Google Pay
Samsung pay has been here since forever !
use that !
Only with NBK cards right?
Nope, I`m using Burgan Cards, since over 2 years.
Two questions:
1. I have a US Apple Store account on my iPhone. Will I be able to add Kuwaiti cards w.e.f Dec 7? Up until now, obv. I have not been able to do so.
2. Does this work for both debit and credit cards?
1. Yes – Apple Wallet is separate from your Apple Store. I have UAE and UK debit cards on my Apple Pay and i have a Kuwait Apple store account.
2. I believe so.
I have been using Apple Pay for awhile and was actually able to use my Apple Cash a few times last month.
However, I know others that have tried their Apple Cash recently and it has not been working.
Hopefully, December 7 will bring full functionality including Apple Cash.
How were you able to activate Apple Cash? Do you have a US Social Security Number? I always get stuck at that point.
Well that sucks …
Yes I am American .. per Apple website Apple Cash is only available in US only to US residents.
I will try Apple Cash again when I return next week to see if its working still.
I been using Apple Pay for more than 6 months now With my American cards.
Apple Pay has been working in Kuwait since 2018, adding local cards to it will start working next month
Yesterday when i was paying at the hospital i put my phone down next to the knet machine to pull out my card … and the apple pay popped up. i just thought it was weird since i haven’t setup apple pay here nor in the states.
if you have credit in your apple store account you could pay with that
