Dubai residents, citizens, and visitors now have the option to pay government fees and fines in easy installments. This new feature comes with the integration of Tabby, a buy-now-pay-later service, into the DubaiPay platform, announced by Digital Dubai and the Department of Finance. The move aligns with Dubai’s Cashless Strategy, aiming to boost digital transformation in the emirate.

DubaiPay, a centralized payment gateway for government and private sector services, now offers Tabby alongside other payment methods like credit cards, smart wallets, and Apple Pay. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) had already adopted Tabby last year, and now this service is expanding across multiple sectors.

With Tabby, users can pay for services such as visa applications, business licenses, traffic fines, utility bills, parking fees, and healthcare services in four monthly installments. Customers simply select the service, confirm their identity, and choose how to split their payments.

Officials say this initiative will ease financial pressure on individuals and businesses by offering more payment flexibility. Ahmad Ali Meftah, from Dubai’s Department of Finance, highlighted that the service particularly supports small and medium enterprises in managing expenses while encouraging timely payments.

This integration also marks a broader push for digital transformation. Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori of Digital Dubai emphasized the importance of public-private partnerships in building trust in digital payments and enhancing the user experience for government services.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to make use of this deferred payment option, as it not only reduces financial strain but also strengthens the emirate’s vision for a fully cashless and digitally advanced economy.
