The majority of Government agencies in the Emirates have an online payment system for their services. Customers may apply for services pay online for them using the same webpage or a specialised Government portal for each Emirate. Customers can pay their power and water bills, as well as traffic penalties and other fees.
The UAE Government has established many mobile apps for payment of Governmental services as part of its smart strategy. Some of these apps are payment-specific, while others have payment channels built right into their platforms. Customers may pay their debts and service charge from the comfort of their own homes utilising these apps.
ePayment for public services may be implemented using a variety of technologies and approaches. They are as follows:
The Finance Ministry has made eDirham a payment option. It's a card that appears and performs almost identically to a standard bank debit/credit card.
Users can fill the card with as much amount as the card type allows and then use them to make purchases. In the UAE, all eDirham may be used to settle for both Government and Non-Government Services. However, only a few cards may be used to pay for goods and services throughout the world; the wallet can be used to purchase goods and services through eDirham G2 merchants.
Credit cards are accepted by Government service providers as a form of payment for public services. To obtain Government Services, you can pay with a credit card at a counter or online. Most financial institutions in the UAE allow consumers to pay administrative fees directly from their bank accounts, rather than using credit cards.
Several public service providers deploy computerised kiosks for bill payment and other service costs in malls, business centres, and other public locations. To pay at an electronic kiosk, you must enter your account information and complete the procedures necessary to complete the transaction.
