Dukhan Bank brings Google Pay™ to customers

DOHA, QATAR; 23 August, 2022: In furtherance of its digitization strategy to enable its customers conduct transactions on the go, Dukhan Bank is launching Google Pay^TM, a faster, more secure way to pay on sites, in applications and in stores using the payment methods saved in their Google Account.

Google Pay, a new addition to Dukhan Bank’s contactless payment platform(D-Pay), protects customers’ payment information with multiple layers of security. When customers make contactless payment through their phone, Google Pay will not send their actual credit or debit card numbers with your payment. Instead, an encrypted virtual account number will be used to represent their information, making their real card details stay safe.

Dukhan Bank customers can make payment through Google Pay at more than million online, on-site and in-store outlets around the world. It is available on Android, and desktop, and can be used on multiple browsers, including Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

“The Google Wallet provides a fast, easy and safe way to pay with any Android phone or Wear OS device,” said Jenny Cheng, Vice President and General Manager, Google Wallet. “Tap and ride the train, tap to pay in stores, have easy access to your boarding pass, store your loyalty cards and more. Keep everything protected in one place, no matter where you go.”

Mr. Talal Ahmed Al-Khaja, Dukhan Bank’s Chief Marketing & Communications Officer, said:

As we continuously offer advanced banking technology to ease our customers’ transaction process, adding Google Pay to Dukhan Bank’s range of advanced payment solutions will create more convenience for our valued clients.”

Dr Sudheer Nair, Visa’s Country Manager for Qatar, said:
