The Sharjah Finance Department (SFD) has introduced Jaywan card payments across all channels of its Tahseel system, expanding the payment options available for government transactions.
Jaywan, the UAE’s national payment card, can now be used through the Tahseel website, smart application and all Tahseel service centres. The move allows customers to select their preferred payment method, whether completing transactions remotely or in person.
The initiative forms part of SFD’s wider efforts to strengthen Sharjah’s digital financial infrastructure, improve the efficiency of government payment services and deliver a more secure and seamless customer experience.
Tahseel recorded more than 558 transactions using Jaywan cards during the first half of 2026. The figures follow the completion of the system’s first Jaywan transaction on September 20, 2025.
Huda Al Yasi, Director of the Financial System Department at SFD, said enabling Jaywan across Tahseel’s different channels represents more than the addition of a new payment method.
“It is a step that strengthens the diversity of national payment solutions and enhances our ability to provide an integrated and secure payment experience that meets the needs of different customer segments,” she said.
Al Yasi added that SFD is continuing to develop Tahseel by expanding its payment options, integrating digital solutions and improving collection processes.
The department aims to further position Tahseel as a flexible and integrated payment ecosystem that combines operational efficiency, ease of access and transaction security while supporting Sharjah’s digital transformation agenda.
The integration of Jaywan also supports the adoption of national payment solutions and gives customers greater flexibility when completing government transactions through digital platforms and service centres.
