The E-Dirham G2 system is an electronic payment method designed to facilitate the collection of service fees. E Dirham is a world-class innovative cashless payment system that is simple, secure, and evolving, partnering with established banks to facilitate smooth, cashless transactions between consumers and the myriad government organizations.
The e-Dirham G2 card is the result of a partnership between the First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) and the Ministry of Finance.
For government and non-government services, the new system offers a safe, transparent, and simple electronic payment mechanism.
Now you can manage your payments, keep your account information safe and secure, and pay for government services quickly and conveniently — anytime and wherever you want.
Prepaid Al Haslah or e-Dirham cards come in a variety of shapes and sizes, providing customers more control over their finances and spending.
