Why Digital Wallets Are Booming
Digital wallets have quickly become a daily essential in the UAE. From Apple Pay and Samsung Pay to Google Pay, people are increasingly moving away from traditional banking. With du Pay’s new feature, employees will be able to enjoy the same convenience for their salaries. It’s especially popular among expats from countries like India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, who often use these wallets to send money home in just a few taps.
More Than Just Salary Transfers
The du Pay platform is designed to do way more than hold your salary. Through its multilingual app, residents can transfer money worldwide, pay bills, recharge their phone accounts, order a debit card, and make payments with ease. Every customer also gets a unique IBAN when signing up, which gives instant access to their funds and makes transactions simple and secure.
A Boost For Financial Inclusion
One of the most exciting aspects of this launch is its impact on workers earning less than AED 5,000 a month. Many in this category don’t have easy access to traditional bank accounts. With du Pay, they can now open a zero-balance account, receive a physical du Pay card, and enjoy cashless payments like never before. This is a huge step towards greater financial inclusion in the UAE.
