The UAE has introduced the Jaywan card, the country’s national payment card scheme designed to provide residents with a secure and convenient alternative for everyday financial transactions. The card is operated by Al Etihad Payments, a subsidiary of the Central Bank of the UAE, as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s payment infrastructure.

Jaywan cards can be used for a wide range of transactions, including in-store purchases, online shopping, ATM cash withdrawals and contactless payments. The service is being introduced through UAE banks and financial institutions in phases.

The card scheme includes different options such as debit and prepaid cards, while additional products including credit card services are planned. Residents can apply for a Jaywan card through participating banks and financial institutions.

Among the key benefits are access to partner offers covering areas such as travel, shopping, hospitality and lifestyle services. Premium cardholders may also receive additional travel-related advantages, including airport lounge access and other selected benefits.

Several UAE financial institutions have started issuing Jaywan cards, with more banks, exchange companies and fintech firms expected to join the rollout gradually. Participating institutions include major banks such as First Abu Dhabi Bank, Emirates NBD, Emirates Islamic, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and others.

To apply, customers can contact their participating bank, check eligibility requirements and complete the application process through available banking channels. The rollout aims to make digital payments faster, safer and more accessible for individuals and businesses across the UAE.
