Abu Dhabi: The UAE Ministry of Finance, MoF, has partnered with the Emirates National Oil Company, Enoc, to offer latest innovative smart payment service under the e-Dirham system, enabling consumers to pay for fuel and other purchases at Enoc and Eppco fuel stations as well as Zoom retail outlets by using the e-wallet of the e-Dirham app for smartphones.
The announcement of the new service took place at the first day of the ‘Cards and Payments Middle East’ exhibition at Dubai World Trade Centre. MoF is participating in the event to highlight the benefits of e-Dirham, the main national e-payment portal.
Based on the partnership, payment through the e-Dirham wallet will be facilitated at 112 Enoc service stations and all Zoom outlets across the Emirates. The transaction is cashless and cardless.
Saeed Rashid Al Yateem, Assistant Under-Secretary of Resources and Budget Sector at the Ministry of Finance, said, “We at the MoF adopt a proactive approach that never waits for events, but rather moves ahead of the curve. To be always ready for the future, we need to foresee trends that would be drastically different from current trends.”
“We are updating our infrastructure of cashless payment services within the e-Dirham system, in order to fulfil our commitment aligned with the smart and digital transformation initiatives of government services, and to keep pace with rapid international developments,” Al Yateem added.
