MoHRE Launches 'Tabby' Instalment Service for Fees and Fines

DUBAI — The UAE's Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has launched the Tabby service, enabling customers to pay fees and fines owed to the Ministry in instalments over a period of four to 12 months, with a maximum of AED 20,000 per transaction.
The service provides customers with greater flexibility in meeting their financial obligations through a simple and convenient digital payment process. Customers can access the Tabby service through MoHRE's digital channels by selecting the instalment payment option, in line with the approved procedures.
Part of a Digital Services Push
Mohammed Saqr Al Nuaimi, MoHRE's Assistant Undersecretary for Support Services, said the new service forms part of the Ministry's efforts to develop its digital services, streamline procedures, and provide solutions centred around customer needs. He added that this "resonates with the UAE government's aspirations to develop government services and enhance their efficiency."
The Ministry said the new option provides a range of payment methods suited to the needs of various categories of customers, thereby enhancing the efficiency of government services and raising the level of customer satisfaction with the digital services provided.
Complementing Existing Credit Card Plans
The Tabby service offers an additional option, complementing the easy payment plans already available to the Ministry's customers, which allow service fees and administrative fines to be paid in instalments using credit cards issued by eight MoHRE-approved banks: Emirates NBD, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank (ADCB), Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), Mashreq Bank, Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD), Commercial International Bank (CIB), and RAKBANK.
Those credit card instalment plans are implemented in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable at the respective financial institutions, for periods of up to 12 months with zero interest and no maximum transaction limit, subject to the customer's credit card limit.
How Tabby Works
Tabby operates on the "Buy Now, Pay Later" model. Under the arrangement used for government payments, Tabby settles the full amount of the fees or fines with the relevant government entity, after which the customer repays the sum according to pre-agreed terms, rather than paying the entire amount upfront.
A Growing Trend Across UAE Government Services
MoHRE's move follows a wider adoption of flexible payment options across UAE federal entities. The Ministry of Finance announced in November 2025 that residents could pay federal government fees and fines in monthly instalments through Tabby, as part of efforts to expand electronic payment options, enhance financial inclusion, and support the country's digital transformation.
Earlier this month, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security (ICP) also added Tabby to its flexible payment service, allowing residents to split immigration-related fees and fines into instalments for transactions of up to AED 20,000 over three to 12 months.
