Sharjah has broadened its government payment choices by incorporating the UAE’s Jaywan national payment card into its Tahseel digital collection system, according to the emirate’s Central Finance Department. Customers can now utilize Jaywan through the Tahseel website, mobile app, and at all Tahseel service centers, facilitating remote or in-person government payments.
This expansion aims to offer a more adaptable and secure payment experience, streamline transactions, and broaden the range of payment options available to customers. By the end of the first half of 2026, more than 558 transactions had been processed using Jaywan via Tahseel, following the initial transaction on September 20, 2025.
Huda Al Yasi, Director of the Financial System Department, emphasized that Tahseel is a crucial component of Sharjah’s digital financial infrastructure, and expanding payment options enhances collection efficiency and customer experience. She stated that integrating Jaywan across the system’s various channels strengthens the diversity of national payment solutions.
The department plans to further develop Tahseel’s capabilities and leverage digital solutions to simplify payments, boost operational efficiency, and meet evolving customer demands. This expansion also aligns with Sharjah’s overall digital transformation strategy by integrating a UAE-developed payment solution into government financial services.
