Abu Dhabi - Mubasher: The UAE National Health Insurance Company (Daman) will begin from January 2018 to replace cash payments with e-Dirham service.
The CEO of Daman, Yousif Al Khanjari said the move comes after six months of testing and is part of Daman’s efforts to digitalise services and simplify customer transactions, making their experiences more efficient, secure and convenient, as cited by Emirates News Agency (WAM).
Daman introduced e-Dirham in June this year with a trial phase, WAM noted.
"Payments on the e-Dirham platform are instantaneous, meaning that there is no need to allow time for cheques to clear or even count out change when paying in cash,” Al Khanjari explained.
“The e-Dirham platform provides a streamlined payment system and is widely available for all customers,” he added.
