Federal fees and fines now payable via Aani and Jaywan payment platforms

The Ministry of Finance has adopted Aani and Jaywan as new payment channels for federal service fees and fines under Cabinet Resolution No. 176M/4M of 2026. Aani is a national instant payment platform developed under Central Bank of the UAE supervision, allowing secure real-time transfers via mobile number, Emirates ID, email, QR code or IBAN. Jaywan is the UAE's national domestic card payment scheme, launched by the Central Bank to provide secure card payment solutions. The adoption aims to accelerate revenue collection, reduce transaction costs, strengthen the national payments infrastructure and provide customers with more flexible payment options. The announcement paves the way for other federal entities and collection banks to adopt both systems in line with their approved procedures.
