Dubai residents can expect a smoother Salik experience following a new agreement signed between Dubai Roads and Dubai Islamic Bank. The collaboration aims to simplify the toll payment process for Salik users, a significant portion of Dubai's motorists who rely on the Salik toll road network.
Under the terms of the agreement, Dubai Islamic Bank will introduce new features and functionalities to its existing Salik account management services. This will include an enhanced online portal for Salik top-ups and transactions, allowing users to manage their accounts efficiently. Additionally, Dubai Islamic Bank plans to integrate Salik services into its mobile banking application, offering a more convenient option for on-the-go Salik management.
Salik, launched in 2007, is an electronic toll collection system employed on Dubai's major road network. Salik tags installed on vehicles are automatically detected when passing through toll gates, deducting the appropriate toll fee from the linked account. The system has played a crucial role in regulating traffic flow and managing congestion across Dubai's busy road network.
The new partnership between Dubai Roads and Dubai Islamic Bank signifies a commitment to improving the Salik experience for Dubai's residents. By offering a more streamlined and user-friendly payment process, the collaboration is expected to encourage wider adoption of Salik and ensure smoother traffic flow across the city.
The agreement is also expected to benefit Dubai Islamic Bank by expanding its customer base and attracting new clients interested in efficient Salik management solutions. The bank's integration of Salik services into its mobile banking application is a strategic move to cater to the growing demand for mobile banking solutions in the UAE.
Dubai has continuously strived to implement innovative solutions to manage traffic congestion and improve road infrastructure. The Salik system has been a cornerstone of this effort, and the new partnership with Dubai Islamic Bank promises to further enhance the efficiency and convenience of the Salik experience for Dubai's motorists.
