stc pay Bahrain has partnered with Mastercard to launch Click to Pay, becoming one of the first financial services providers in the Kingdom to offer the feature as a default capability on eligible payment cards.
The new feature enables stc pay cardholders to complete online purchases with a single click using device-based biometric authentication and passkeys, eliminating the need to manually enter card details.
Powered by Mastercard’s digital payment standards, Click to Pay provides a streamlined checkout experience across devices, browsers and participating online merchants.
The service uses tokenization technology to replace sensitive card information with secure digital tokens, helping reduce fraud risks and enhance payment security.
It is further supported by device-based biometric authentication and Mastercard Payment Passkeys, allowing users to securely authenticate transactions using fingerprints or facial recognition without passwords or one-time passcodes.
The launch of Click to Pay service strengthens stc pay’s position in Bahrain’s fintech sector and supports its strategy to accelerate digital payment adoption through secure and innovative financial solutions. It also aligns with Bahrain’s broader efforts to advance a cashless digital economy.
