Digital Wallet, A Revolutionary Step in UAE, It’s another leap in digitalization of government services in the UAE where MoHRE has collaborated with Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, ADIB. Developed to expediate and facilitate payments made by corporates in respect of MoHRE services, the wallet facilitates corporates to settle their fees / obligations in real time.
The launch of the wallet is part of the drive towards the complete transformation to fully-fledged digital banking services for businesses that was announced earlier this year in line with the UAE’s strategic vision to provide efficient, accurate and transparent services to businesses and government agencies in the UAE. Companies can apply for the “Digital Wallet” service through MoHRE’s portal in the “e-Wallet Registration for Companies’ approval. Companies are able to start managing payments using the wallet once approved by the bank.
Dr. Mohammed Saqr Al Nuaimi, Assistant Undersecretary for support services at MoHRE, said, “This initiative represents the first slide of the Digital Wallet service, as efforts are still in process to develop the service so that other categories, including Emiratis, freelancers and workers, can take advantage of the Digital Wallet service. We will also collaborate with additional banks to enhance financial inclusivity, simplify business operations in the UAE, and support the country in becoming a global business think tank.
