Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB) has partnered with Visa to introduce the Click to Pay feature for its Visa cardholders.
The feature aims to simplify the online checkout process by allowing users to authenticate purchases with unique identifiers such as an email address or phone number.
The Click to Pay feature, once users register, eliminates the requirement for manual entry of card details or the generation of one-time passcodes.
QIIB head of business development sector Khaled Abdul Rahman Al-Shaibei said: “Being among the first few issuer banks in the GCC to launch this feature, we are focused on delivering secure, seamless payment solutions for our customers.
“Our ongoing partnership with Visa enables us to integrate state-of-the-art technologies that enhance convenience while upholding the highest standards of security.”
It is integrated with Visa’s Payment Passkey Service, which employs biometric authentication methods including fingerprint and facial recognition, based on FIDO authentication standards.
Cardholders can register for the Click to Pay service through the QIIB mobile banking application.
The technology behind Click to Pay replaces sensitive payment information with encrypted tokens.
Visa Qatar and Kuwait vice president and general manager Shashank Singh stated: “We are delighted to support QIIB in bringing Click to Pay to its customers, ensuring a quicker and more secure digital checkout experience.
“This collaboration with QIIB aligns perfectly with our mission to enhance security and improve customer experiences, in line with the digital commerce objectives of the Qatar Government.”
Earlier this month, an embedded finance company Weavr partnered with Visa to provide embedded Visa cards for HR technology platforms.
“QIIB rolls out Click to Pay feature for Visa cardholders ” was originally created and published by Electronic Payments International, a GlobalData owned brand.
