The Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (Rakez) signed a memorandum of understanding with global payment solutions provider EdenRed UAE to implement the new project.

Employees will be able to receive their salaries directly on the card and use it easily at ATMs, stores, and online, without the need to have a bank account, the authorities said.

The initiative aims to provide financial solutions that facilitate the process of paying salaries, especially for employees who may face challenges in accessing traditional banking services, said Rami Jallad, group CEO of Rakez.

Wael Fakhrani, CEO of Edenred UAE, said: “Payroll cards are a reliable financial tool that enables all employees to manage their daily transactions easily and efficiently."
