The Government of Dubai, represented by the Department of Finance (DOF) and Dubai Smart Government Establishment (DSG), entered into a partnership agreement with Al Ansari Exchange to make DubaiPay’s payment services available on Al Ansari Exchange Mobile App.
H.E. Wesam Al Abbas Lootah, CEO of DSG, Jamal Hamed Al Marri, Executive Director of Central Accounts at DOF, and Rashed A. Al Ansari, CEO of Al Ansari Exchange, signed the agreement at the headquarters of Digital Dubai.
Under the terms of the collaboration, Al Ansari Exchange will join DubaiPay’s roster of service providers, making it one of the first private companies and the first exchange company to be linked to the app. With this development, Al Ansari Exchange’s customers can now use DubaiPay as an alternative payment option available on their mobile app.

This collaboration offers more flexibility and convenience to customers to perform their financial transactions.

Our partnership with Al Ansari Exchange is in line with our continuous collaborations with Digital Dubai, other government entities, and the private sector geared towards expanding the reach and services of DubaiPay to ensure more secure and flexible payment options for its users.”
His Excellency Wesam Lootah, CEO of the Smart Dubai Government Establishment, said:

To that end, DubaiPay allows users to seamlessly pay bills and purchase online services from one centralised, secure, and easy-to-use application.”
“We are always working to expand the scope of DubaiPay, in line with Digital Dubai’s mission to digitise every aspect of life in the emirate, in close collaboration between the government and private sectors,”
H.E. Lootah added.
