Expanding Digital Payment Options
SFD stated the integration is part of its ongoing efforts to develop Tahseel into a more connected and efficient government payment ecosystem. This initiative aims to improve security while simplifying the overall customer payment journey.

The UAE’s national payment card can now be used across Tahseel’s digital and physical channels, creating a unified payment experience for government transactions.

Huda Al Yasi, Director of the Financial System Department at Sharjah Finance Department, said the integration supports the department’s efforts to strengthen Tahseel as a core component of Sharjah’s digital financial infrastructure.

Why Jaywan Matters
The Jaywan card integration highlights the UAE’s broader push to build a more connected and locally supported digital payments ecosystem.
For Sharjah, embedding the national payment card directly into Tahseel means residents and businesses can access government services through a wider range of digital and physical channels.
For the wider UAE, the move demonstrates how national payment infrastructure can be seamlessly integrated into government services as adoption continues to grow.
