Special Notice (Applicable from 01/09/2024 onwards)

To maintain a minimum wallet balance of AED 15, customers are required to complete a card verification process. This process involves a charge of AED 2, which is added to the customer’s wallet. Customers may then choose from available top-up options to fund their wallet.

It has come to our attention that some customers may attempt to bypass the minimum balance requirement by repeatedly adding and removing their card to accumulate the necessary amount. This practice incurs significant service charges on our end.

To prevent misuse, we have implemented a policy whereby customers who engage in such activity will be charged a fee of AED 100. This fee is intended to cover the service charges associated with multiple card verifications and maintain the integrity of our services.

By using our service, you agree to this policy and acknowledge that such charges may be applied to your account if the outlined practices are detected.
