Dubai First expands payment network to over 100 locations

Al Fardan Exchange has a network of 19 branches in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Ruwais, Dubai and Sharjah with more branches planned across the UAE and has been one of the pioneers in the UAE remittance industry since its establishment in 1971.

The tie up with Al Fardan Exchange, which adds 19 additional payment locations to Dubai First's existing network, will enable customers to make their monthly credit card repayments conveniently. For Dubai First's customers, the simple process requires the customer to present the Dubai First credit card at any of the Al Fardan Exchange branches across the UAE along with the requisite cash payment. Card members will receive a confirmation receipt, and the payment will be credited to their accounts the following working day.

Ibrahim Al Ansari, Country Corporate Officer of Dubai First, said:

"Partnering with an established and trusted exchange house, such as Al Fardan Exchange, underscores our commitment to providing convenient, safe and secure payment options to our customers. This stems from our intention to provide our customers with the utmost convenient payment locations within the vicinity of the home or work place."

Osama Hamza Al Rahma, General Manager of the Al Fardan Exchange, said: "Al Fardan Exchange always gives the highest priority to customer service by offering personalized services. We constantly seek new solutions to our customers' financial needs. Our partnership with Dubai First will provide our customers with yet another convenient service that will enable them to pay their credit card bills quickly and with confidence."

With the Al Fardan tie-up, there are now 112 payment locations including the branches of Al Ansari Exchange and the UAE Exchange, where Dubai First customers can make their repayments.

Dubai First is on track to achieve its vision of being one of the top five consumer finance players in the UAE within the next three years. Increasing payment locations for customers is of vital importance to Dubai First as it seeks to expand its credit card business.
