This integration provides service providers and government entities with the capability to offer deferred payment services around the clock. Residents and visitors in the UAE can now enjoy multiple secure and convenient payment methods, including flexible installment options that enhance user convenience and effective financial management.

With ‘Tabby’ joining the array of payment methods available on ‘Dubai Pay’—which already includes credit and debit cards, digital wallets, online banking, Apple Pay, and Google Pay—users from both individual and corporate sectors have a wide range of options to facilitate their transactions. This initiative aligns with Dubai’s digital ambitions, aiming to digitize life in the city and strengthen the pillars of the digital economy.

It underscores the importance of public-private partnerships in embedding digital transformation as a widespread culture and practice, aligning with the leadership’s directives to transition from digital government to a comprehensive and integrated digital life.”

The launch of deferred payment services through the ‘Dubai Pay’ portal offers numerous benefits to the community. Ahmed Ali Meftah, Executive Director of the Central Accounts Sector at Dubai’s Department of Finance, pointed out that these advantages include enhancing financial flexibility for individuals and businesses, improving user experiences with government services, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in managing expenses, reducing financial burdens, and encouraging the community to settle accumulated fees without pressure.
