Visa Introduces ‘Tap to Add Card’ in Qatar for Secure Digital Payments

Doha, Qatar: Visa has launched its innovative ‘Tap to Add Card’ feature in Qatar. It offers a seamless and secure way for cardholders to add their Visa contactless cards to digital wallets with a simple tap on their mobile device.

Shashank Singh, Visa’s VP and General Manager for Qatar and Kuwait, expressed enthusiasm about the launch. He stated, “We are excited to bring the enhanced security and simplicity of Tap to Add Card to Qatar.
