Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) and Google have partnered to bring Google Pay to Saudi Arabia in 2025 through the mada payment system. This move supports SAMA’s Vision 2030 goals by boosting digital payments and reducing cash reliance. Google Pay will offer secure and convenient transactions in stores, apps, and online.
In a bid to expand offerings of digital payment solutions, #SAMA and Google sign an agreement to avail Google Pay in #SaudiArabia during 2025.https://t.co/NQUfQyRSPO pic.twitter.com/iPhn67pOiE

The agreement will allow Android users to pay using their Android phones instead of using their MADA card, just like how iOS users uses Apple pay (on their iphone).
