Qatar's Himyan National Payment System Now Fully Integrated with Samsung Wallet

Samsung Wallet continues to expand its global footprint by integrating with the official national payment systems of various countries, and a major new addition has officially gone live. The Qatar Central Bank has announced the successful integration of Qatar's native Himyan payment system into the Samsung Wallet ecosystem, making digital transactions simpler and more accessible for Galaxy users throughout the region.

• ✨ Qatar Central Bank integrates the domestic Himyan payment system with Samsung Wallet for local Galaxy device users.
• ✨ Users can easily add eligible Himyan-branded debit and prepaid cards using the standard card addition and verification flow.
• ✨ The integration eliminates the need to carry physical cards, enabling fast, secure contactless payments at retail stores across Qatar.

Seamless Card Setup and Enhanced Accessibility

Adding a newly supported Himyan-branded card to Samsung Wallet follows the exact same intuitive process as registering standard international payment networks like Visa or Mastercard. Galaxy device owners simply need to open the app, navigate to the card addition menu, and follow a straightforward bank verification procedure.

Himyan was originally established as Qatar’s first dedicated national payment card brand designed to foster financial inclusion and secure domestic transactions. By bringing this infrastructure into Samsung's digital wallet, local cardholders can leave their physical wallets at home while enjoying rapid contactless checkouts at any point of sale terminal across the country. This strategic update significantly boosts the utility and everyday convenience of Galaxy devices for consumers living in Qatar.

Can I add my Himyan card to Samsung Wallet just like a Visa or Mastercard?

What types of cards are supported by this integration?

Eligible debit and prepaid cards issued under Qatar's national Himyan payment scheme can be successfully added to the digital wallet app.

Do I still need to carry my physical payment card in stores?

No, once your Himyan card is verified and active inside the app, you can perform secure contactless payments directly using your smartphone at stores and retail locations across Qatar.

Who announced this new payment integration?

The official integration was announced by the Qatar Central Bank to expand digital banking accessibility and promote local payment solutions.
