Dubai Government, through Digital Dubai and the Department of Finance, has integrated Tabby into the DubaiPay platform, allowing flexible deferred payment services for citizens, residents and visitors. The integration adds Tabby to existing payment options such as credit cards, smart wallets, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
The initiative aligns with Dubai’s Cashless Strategy and Digital Dubai’s goal to digitise life and support the emirate’s digital economy.
The deferred payment mechanism allows customers to select services on government websites and pay through Tabby in four monthly instalments after verifying their identity.
The DubaiPay platform serves as the unified payment hub for various government entities and service providers, supporting multiple channels such as mobile, web, kiosks, and smart devices. The system complies with international standards, including PCI DSS and ISO 27001, ensuring security and seamless transactions.
The instalment mechanism works as follows: the customer selects the service they wish to pay for on the service provider’s website. They are then redirected to the DubaiPay page, where they can choose from several available payment options, including Tabby.
After verifying their identity through a one-time password to access their account data on Tabby, the customer can determine the payment instalments. The customer can pay for their purchases in four monthly instalments.
