“Emirates Post is strongly committed to spreading the use of online services for all types of public services and we have put in place systems that make online payment very secure,” said Abdullah Al Daboos, Director-General, Emirates Post.
“We decided to provide an incentive to those who renewed their P.O. box subscriptions online, and we were overwhelmed by the response.”
Online renewal of P.O. boxes was just one of the options offered by Emirates Post, the other channels being renewal by mail and at post office counters. Those who paid by credit card were not charged any transaction fee as a further incentive.
