Dubai Government, represented by Digital Dubai and the Department of Finance, has announced the integration of Tabby into DubaiPay, an application that provides access to more than 250 government and private sector services from over 35 entities. This integration enables round-the-clock deferred payment services, offering citizens, residents, and visitors in the UAE a seamless and secure way to make payments.

With this move, Tabby joins a diverse range of payment methods available on the DubaiPay platform, including credit cards, direct debit cards, smart wallets, online banking services, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. By introducing flexible installment options, the initiative aims to increase customer convenience while also empowering users to manage their financial commitments more effectively.

The installment mechanism works as follows: the customer selects the service they wish to pay for on the service provider's website, and 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 installments. Following that, the customer has the option to pay for their purchases in four monthly installments.
