Abu Dhabi DMT to end cash fee collections at all of its customer service centres

The Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) announced that it would permanently stop collecting fees in cash, starting April 1, 2026 (Wednesday), and would transition to a completely cashless payment system in all its customer service centres and treasury sections.

All fees would be paid through approved electronic platforms such as ‘Tamm,’ ‘DARI’ and ‘Smarthub’ or via credit cards at service centres, it added, noting that this step represented an important stage towards achieving a fully digital payment system in all entities affiliated with the DMT.
