ADCB, Dubai eGovernment sign partnership agreement

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB) and Dubai eGovernment yesterday signed the Electronic Direct Debit Services Agreement, formalising the bank's inclusion as a direct debit bank for e-payment services relating to Dubai Government.

The signing ceremony was attended by Salem Khamis Al Shair, director of eServices, Dubai eGovernment and Sarie Arar, head of business banking group, ADCB.

Through the BizDirect ePayment System, corporate and retail customers holding an account with ADCB and who have registered in ADCB@ctive, can pay Dubai Government-related fees electronically. Under the arrangement, ADCB customers will need to go to the relevant Dubai Government agency portal, and then select fees payment. Customers will then be redirected to the Dubai eGovernment ePay Gateway, where they will choose 'direct debit' as payment mode followed by selecting ADCB as the paying bank and finally authorising the payment.

Salem Al Shair, eServices director, Dubai eGovernment, said, "Ever since the launch of the direct debit payment system a year ago, we have seen a significant increase in the number of online transactions for government departments. We expect the number of online payment transactions to go up considerably." Source
