Everything You Need to Know About RTA e-Wallet
The Road and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched several services providing convenience to public transport users and motorists. From nol cards to e-Wallet by RTA, the authority has completely transformed transportation in Dubai. While nol cards are mainly used to pay public transport fares, the RTA e-wallet can help with fee payment of RTA-related services such as licencing, training, vehicle inspection and Dubai Taxi.
Here’s a detailed overview of the RTA e-wallet in Dubai and how to top up and manage the account.
What Is RTA e-Wallet?
The transaction systems are digitised around the world, allowing easy, safe and secure payment methods. RTA e-wallet is one such system that allows users to top up their balance and pay for various RTA services. For instance, if you request a car driving licence in Dubai, you can pay its fee via the e-wallet.
While many confuse e-wallet and nol pay app, both are quite different. A nol card or app is primarily used to pay Dubai public transport fares. On the contrary, the e-wallet helps pay for the RTA services and Dubai taxis.
