Dubai, UAE – In a groundbreaking move, Dubai Police has officially integrated Tabby, a popular “buy now, pay later” platform, into its traffic fine payment system. This initiative allows residents to split traffic fine payments into manageable 4- or 6-month installments, with some users eligible for an 8-month option. The new system is expected to make fine payments more accessible, alleviating financial pressure for drivers.
Previously, traffic fines could only be paid using traditional online methods, such as credit or debit cards, net banking, or the Noqodi payment platform. With Tabby now on board, Dubai continues to lead as a smart city, leveraging technology to enhance the lives of its residents.
Why Tabby for Traffic Fines?
Dubai has some of the strictest traffic regulations in the world, reinforced by extensive monitoring systems like speed cameras, radars, and surveillance tools installed by the Dubai Police and the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). While these measures have improved road safety, they’ve also led to a significant number of fines.
The integration of Tabby offers drivers a more flexible way to manage these fines without straining their budgets. As Dubai adopts innovative solutions to solve real-life problems, this collaboration reflects the city’s commitment to smart governance and improved quality of life.
