Looks like Gulf Bank has activated Apple Pay for their customers because they just announced it on their website:
Gulf Bank is excited to announce the Apple Pay Digital Wallet for Gulf Bank cardholders. The Apple Pay service enables you to pay using your iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, or Mac. The Apple Pay payment method is available in most stores that accept contactless/ tap & pay transactions in Kuwait and abroad, making your purchases more convenient and secure. Link
NBK, hope you’re next!
Update: Gulf Bank have taken down the announcement page but CBK and NBK have both uploaded their pages. Here is the NBK page and here it the CBK one. I just tried adding my NBK card and it didn’t work so looks like they’re preparing for launch but haven’t actually launched it yet.
Thanks Bo Talal!

Meanwhile Samsung users…..buhahahhahahaha.. we’ve been using samsung pay for more than a year!
Apple users: buhahahahaha at least our phones don’t start hanging and slow down with time… no malware pop ups either!!
🤫🤭
whats funnier are people with fitbits who say fitbit pay has been around for awhile… guys nobody cares about fitbit
What’s funny is that grown ass adults still have a fanboy mentality.
Nintendo FTW!
it’s just a bit of fun. I survived the brutal SNES vs Genesis war back in the early 90s so everything after that has been pretty mild 😛
Any phone, apple or android, used by a stupid person can be infected with malware. Don’t click on suspicious links and download shady apps.
Not any phone, just any phone that isn’t an iPhone. iOS is locked up so you can’t install an app on it unless it’s been jail broken or installed from the App Store.
I’m iPhone user myself, but it’s not exactly fortress many people imagine it is. It’s safer that Android, but one of the world richest man and his iPhone got hacked anyway 😉

Yeah that’s not going to happen to 99.99999999% of the people
dud buy good samsung phone and u will see the difference,..cheap options always give problem…some samsung phone cheaper then ur Apple earpods…buhahha
NBK page was also taken down.
I thought the banks all agreed to launch Apple Pay at the same time, and not try to one up each other like school kids
i guess they are all getting ready to launch at the same time which is why these pages popped up. Gulf Bank have taken it back offline, NBK has blocked access to it and CBK has also now removed it.
I swear to god the tease is unreal!!
I can’t wait to leave my wallet at home.
Kuwaiti Mobile ID with civil ID + driving license
Apple Pay
Sorted
police will accept driving license from mobile?
If it’s on the Kuwait Mobile ID, yes
thank you 🙂
At last it’s launched
Doesn’t work yet for Gulf Bank. Personally tried it and asked a couple of friends to try didn’t work.
