Saudi Arabia's national payment network used by local bank debit cards, in stores and online.
mada is the national network connecting Saudi bank cards to point-of-sale terminals, ATMs and online payments. Most bank account holders in the Kingdom carry a mada card and use it daily in shops, as well as for online purchases and through wallets such as Apple Pay.
If your customers are in Saudi Arabia, accepting mada in your online store is essential, since many customers prefer it over credit cards. Not every payment gateway supports it the same way, and how it appears on the checkout page and its requirements can differ from international cards. Practical tip: when choosing a gateway, confirm explicitly that it supports mada online and through Apple Pay, and display the mada logo clearly at checkout. Follow your payment provider's official guidance on display and verification requirements.
