eDirham
The eDirham system was initially launched in 2011 by the Ministry of Finance as a digital payment method for collecting government service fees and revenue in ministries, federal and local authorities.
The platform gives many benefits including low costs and the possibility of paying service fees through various channels like eDirham apps for phones, e-wallet, vouchers and self-service eKiosks.
