When Samsung Pay has made its way to every transaction point in the UAE and several parts of the Middle East, Apple cannot be left behind. Add to that the proactive list of travel solutions providers and we have a winning combination, ringing in even more convenience to leisure industry customers.

As part of its efforts to make travel simple for its customers, Cleartrip, the mobile and online travel company, is now providing the integration of Apple Pay on its mobile application.

With the launch of Apple’s digital wallet in the UAE, Cleartrip customers can now look forward to a quicker and safer way to check out on the Cleartrip mobile app. Apple Pay supports all devices running iOS 11 and works with iPhone SE, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and later, and Apple Watch.

“As the preferred travel partner of consumers in the UAE as well as the wider region, we are dedicated to building industry-leading travel solutions. Understanding and addressing our customers’ needs, like easy payment options, is at the heart of why we launched Apple Pay on the Cleartrip app,” said Stuart Crighton, founder and CEO of Cleartrip.

To support the launch, customers using Apple Pay to purchase on the Cleartrip iOS app will benefit from an instant discount of $27 on flights.

Apple rolled out Apple Pay in the UAE late October in a move that is expected to revolutionise the country’s digital economy. The service is already available in a number of countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, China, Russia, France, Japan and Hong Kong.

“At Cleartrip, we remain committed to providing a seamless user experience for our guests, in line with the ever-increasing needs of our tech-savvy consumers in the region, to deliver the highest levels of customer retention and loyalty,” Crighton added.

Cashless payments have been rapidly gaining momentum in the country, with the government identifying them as a top priority in the UAE’s Vision 2021. Innovative solutions such as Apple Pay also contribute to the UAE’s efforts to develop a safe and secure digital payment ecosystem that boosts convenience while reducing hassle and time across industries.
