Now, pay your Dubai Municipality services fees online

Consumers can now use the e-Dirham for instant payment to avail Dubai Municipality services without visiting its centers, officials announced on Monday.
The agreement, signed with the Ministry of Finance and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, aims to reduce the number of visitors to government departments by 80 per cent through using an electronic payment system.
Visitors will not need to go to the municipality or any of its centers to finish transactions. The e-payment enables them to pay fees from their own offices or homes.
The agreement came a day after the ministry announced that 630 e-kiosks will be launched across the country to enable users to avail services related to e-dirham.
Eng. Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of DM, told Khaleej Times that the civic body is planning to move towards the electronic wallet, where no credit or debit cards would be used.
"We hope in the future to eliminate cards and enable people to use their smart phones for payments," said Lootah.
He added, "The future is in digital; it is a reality we should confront. Transactions under the government departments are secure."
Mohammad Abdullah Al Zafein, director of the IT Department said an app that will facilitate payments will soon be introduced. He did not elaborate on details.
The e-Dirham, a joint system between the Ministry of Finance and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, aims to collect the revenue of government bodies and non-governmental organizations using a safer and more modern means.
How it works:
- A special window has been designed on the municipality portal for instant payment of the fees for services.
