Dubai Government Integrates Tabby into DubaiPay to Enhance Digital Transactions
In a major step toward advancing digital transactions and fostering a seamless digital lifestyle, the Dubai Government has announced the integration of Tabby into DubaiPay. Spearheaded by Digital Dubai and the Department of Finance, this move allows users across the UAE to access deferred payment services, enhancing financial flexibility and customer convenience.
With Tabby now part of DubaiPay, users can opt for flexible installment payments alongside existing methods such as credit cards, debit cards, smart wallets, online banking, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. This expansion aligns with Digital Dubai’s vision of a cashless society and strengthens Dubai’s position as a global digital economy leader.
His Excellency Abdulrahman Saleh Al Saleh, Director General of the Department of Finance, emphasized that this initiative supports Dubai’s Cashless Strategy and the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to position Dubai as a future business and investment hub. “The deferred payment service enhances digital financial infrastructure and fosters collaboration among government entities to create an integrated government service system,” he stated.
His Excellency Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of Digital Dubai, highlighted the role of public-private partnerships in embedding digital transactions into daily life. “Tabby’s integration into DubaiPay reflects our leadership’s vision of transitioning from digital government to a fully integrated digital society,” he said.
The initiative offers wide-ranging benefits, including increased financial flexibility for individuals and businesses, improved customer experiences with government services, and support for SMEs in managing their expenses. Ahmad Ali Meftah, Director of the General Accounting Division at the Department of Finance, emphasized that this initiative underscores Dubai’s commitment to implementing global best practices in digital payments.
DubaiPay operates as a unified payment hub for government and service providers, ensuring seamless and secure transactions through various digital channels. The installment mechanism allows customers to select services, verify their identity via a one-time password, and split payments into four monthly installments via Tabby.
As part of Dubai’s broader digital transformation strategy, this initiative reinforces Dubai’s commitment to enhancing financial accessibility, easing transactions, and strengthening its position as a model for smart government services.
