Abu Dhabi Residents Can Pay Court Fees Using Cryptocurrency For The First Time Ever

The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department has added a major milestone to its cap! The entity has become the first in the Middle East to accept cryptocurrency payments for court-related payments.

Residents can now pay court fees using AE Coin, a regulated digital currency, through the AEC secure wallet

AE Coin is backed by the UAE Central Bank and pegged to the dirham, ensuring secure and stable transactions.

This is a landmark step towards digital transformation in the UAE

The initiative sets the stage for a new era in digital government payments across the Emirates. Dr. Yousef Saeed Al Abri, Undersecretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, shared that the system supports the organisation’s digital transformation efforts. He added that the strategy aims to make legal procedures more accessible and align with the national objectives of fintech. This move is part of a larger trend in the UAE, where digital payments are becoming increasingly integrated into various public services.

Cryptocurrency payments are already being used in the transport and aviation sectors

In June this year, Integrated Transport Center introduced using AE Coin for public transport fares. Following suit, Air Arabia also recently introduced it as an option for booking flights.

AE Coin, developed from AED Stablecoin, is a local currency issued for safe and compliant use within the UAE.
