e-dirham

e-dirham is a local UAE prepaid card developed by the UAE Ministry of Finance and First Abu Dhabi Bank.

The cards are positioned as an easier, safer way to pay and be paid for government and non-government purchases, and can be used online and at physical point of sale. The card suite comprises private label cards (red and gold) and those co-branded with an international card scheme for worldwide acceptance (blue, green and silver).

All cards can be purchased, loaded and reloaded at First Abu Dhabi Bank branches, ATMs and kiosks, plus at other participating ATMs and outlets.
