DUBAI: The Dubai Government, through Digital Dubai and the Department of Finance, has integrated Tabby into DubaiPay, offering round-the-clock deferred payment options. This move enhances financial flexibility for UAE residents, businesses, and visitors, making transactions more seamless and secure.
With Tabby joining DubaiPay’s extensive payment ecosystem—alongside credit cards, smart wallets, and Apple Pay—users can now split payments into interest-free installments. This aligns with Dubai’s digital transformation efforts and strengthens the emirate’s cashless economy.
Abdulrahman Saleh Al Saleh, Director-General of the Department of Finance, highlighted that this initiative supports Dubai’s vision to be a global business hub. He emphasised that it plays a key role in advancing the Dubai Cashless Strategy and integrating government services into a single, efficient platform.
Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director-General of Digital Dubai, described the integration as a milestone in digital payments. He stressed the importance of public-private partnerships in making financial transactions easier and more accessible. Matar Al Hemeiri, CEO of Digital Dubai Government Establishment, added that this step boosts confidence in digital payments, encouraging more private sector collaboration.
Ahmad Ali Meftah, Director of General Accounting at the Department of Finance, outlined the benefits of deferred payments, such as easing financial burdens and supporting SMEs. He noted that this initiative leverages technology and strategic partnerships to enhance customer experience.
Customers can now choose Tabby at checkout on DubaiPay, verify their identity, and split payments into four monthly installments. This development positions Dubai as a leader in digital government services, ensuring convenience and accessibility for all.
