Tap & Pay accepts purchases of up to KD100.

More than 7,000 restaurants, shops, entertainment centres, coffee shops and lifestyle brands now accept the NBK Tap & Pay service in Kuwait, in addition to different locations around the world.

“We’ve launched this promotion, offering a discount on Tap & Pay wristbands and stickers, to give customers a chance to try it out and discover how much easier this stylish and innovative payment technology makes their lives. Tap & Pay technology is convenient to use, seamless and simple. It makes small payments easy and safe while enhancing the checkout experience,” said Naser Alduwaisan, Cards Products Officer, National Bank of Kuwait.
