Dubai’s global diversified energy group ENOC Group has reported 12 million cashless transactions in the first five months of this year as a result of the firm’s considerable push towards encouraging cashless payments, one of the key pillars of the UAE Vision 2021, and in line with the directives issued by the UAE Government to maintain precautionary measures in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Group registered an uptick in cashless transactions when compared to cash payments during the same period.
More than 5 million cashless transactions were registered through ENOC Vehicle Identification Pass (VIP), the Group’s contactless payment service for individuals and corporate customers. Additionally, over 5 million cashless transactions were made via debit and credit cards. Customers also utilized ENOC Select Card to make 1.38 million cashless transactions. In addition, more than 15,000 cashless transactions were handled through ENOCPay, while Dubai Smart Government supported an additional 26,118 cashless transactions.
“Driving the growth of a digital economy in the UAE is of immense importance. The growth of cashless transactions across our retail operations underpins our commitment to supporting the nation’s smart infrastructure and, especially during these challenging times; ensure the safety of our customers and employees. We will continue to support the UAE government’s vison and drive to encourage cashless transactions.”
To further improve the safety and security of its stakeholders, ENOC Group will continue to urge its customers to use ENOCPay to refuel their vehicles. ENOC has also unveiled a diverse portfolio of cashless payment options for customers, including NOL cards, Dubai Now app, Apple pay and Samsung Pay.
The Group has been spending heavily on digitization to secure business continuity and operational excellence. One of the key elements lies in the Group’s efforts in enabling cashless payment options across its retail operations. ENOC Group first launched cashless payment options in 1996, with the launch of the ENOC Select Card, and has continued ever since to offer several innovative cashless and contactless payment methods across service stations in the UAE to improve safety and promote zero contact payments.
