Kuwait Citizen, 16 October 2025: The Department of Finance in Ajman has unveiled two major payment innovations introducing local smart payment services through the ‘Jaywan’ card system and a new interest-free payment instalment scheme.

The department has integrated the UAE Central Bank’s ‘Jaywan’ national payment card with the ‘AjmanPay’ platform, offering residents an alternative to international payment networks. This card system provides comprehensive payment capabilities across ATMs, e-commerce platforms, and point-of-sale terminals.

Alongside this, the department has implemented a ‘Get it done now and pay later’ service, enabling customers to split government fee payments into monthly instalments without interest charges. The service also includes an option to defer payments for a specified period.

The department also showcased its new ‘Estidama system’ Smart Financial System at the exhibition. This cloud-based platform integrates four modules managing budgeting, initiatives, financial execution, and reporting for government operations.
