Dubai: Dubai Police is promoting its first international smart fines instalment service, by urging motorists with traffic violations to pay their traffic fines in instalments.
Taking to social media, Dubai Police said erring motorists have the option of paying their fines in instalments, which is a new traffic payment option.
Dubai traffic fines can be paid under a no-interest, easy-to-pay plan. Using credit cards, the fine can be paid in zero interest instalments.
Promoting the service, Dubai Police reminded motorists about how the service allows them to apply for traffic fine instalments in two minutes.
The service allows vehicle owners, with violations, to pay interest-free instalments over a period of three, six or 12 months.
These payments can be made through credit cards issued by the following banks:
• Emirates NBD
• Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank
• First Abu Dhabi Bank
• Emirates Islamic Bank
• Commercial Bank International
• Dubai Islamic Bank
• Standard Chartered Bank
• Commercial Bank of Dubai
• Finance House

To avail this service, there are certain conditions that one would need to fulfil as per Dubai Police:
• The value of fines should not be less than Dh5,000 for individuals, and Dh20,000 for companies and institutions.
• You will need to pay 25 per cent of the total fines.
• The instalments are issued for up to 24 months and according to the value of traffic fines.
