No bank account? No problem. du Pay just made salary payments digital and straightforward for everyone earning under AED 5,000 a month.
Digital salaries land straight into your du Pay wallet
Getting paid just got easier for thousands of workers across the UAE. du Pay, the digital finance arm of telecom provider du, has launched its new ‘Salary in the Digital Wallet’ feature. It does what it says on the tin—workers can now receive their wages directly into their du Pay digital wallets.
- Users get a unique IBAN with their du Pay account
- Salaries land straight into the app, no bank needed
- Physical du Pay card included for easy spending
This isn’t just a tech gimmick. For many low-income workers in the UAE—especially those earning under AED 5,000 a month—it’s the first real alternative to cash and traditional bank accounts.
Zero-balance account, full access to digital money tools
No minimum deposit, no banking red tape. With du Pay, users can open a zero-balance account in minutes. That unlocks full access to their money via mobile.
- Instant international transfers
- Utility and telco bill payments
- Mobile recharges and card payments
This feature is a win for financial inclusion. Most of the UAE’s low-income workforce has limited access to traditional banking. du Pay plugs that gap—offering secure, cashless options for spending and saving.
Employers can ditch the envelope, too
du Pay says it’s just getting started. Soon, employers in the UAE will be able to use the same system to manage payroll digitally.
- Faster salary disbursement
- No physical paperwork
- Easier access for workers
This aligns with the UAE’s national goal of building a fully digital and inclusive financial system. It’s not just about convenience. It’s about giving everyone a fair shot at modern money management.
Built for UAE workers, backed by the Central Bank
du Pay isn’t some unregulated fintech start-up. It’s backed by Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC) and licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE.
- Strong security and compliance standards
- Local support and integration
- Trusted brand with existing infrastructure
That means users don’t just get shiny tech—they get a financial service that’s properly regulated and built with the UAE’s infrastructure in mind.
