Easy and flexible payment experience
Haleema Al Shehhi, director of the financial resources development section at the Ajman Department of Finance, indicated that the workshop reflects the department’s commitment to adopting innovative initiatives and solutions to continuously improve financial practices at the government level and accelerating digital transformation toward achieving sustainability in economic development.
She added that the initiative aims to encourage digital purchases at the government level and reduce reliance on cash in government transactions. The aim is to provide a streamlined, flexible and efficient payment experience for the concerned authorities by reducing the time required to complete online transactions.
