UAE government services fees can now be paid using various flexible payment methods.

These include direct debit and credit cards and bank transfers in addition to Samsung Pay and Apple Pay.

The Ministry of Finance said the move is in response to customers’ suggestions and requirements for easier payment options.

It also added that over the next three months, federal entities will gradually stop using the E-Dirham platform as a payment option for their services fees.
