If you have a Samsung phone, then you should be able to digitise your card and pay through your phone. This was made possible, earlier this year, after an agreement was signed between the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Samsung Gulf Electronics.
Here’s how you can digitise your Nol card in 6 simple steps:
1. First, you need to get the Nol Pay app.
2. Once you install the app, you can link it with your UAE Pass app to be able to log in easily.
3. Then, you can tap on ‘Get my Nol card’.
4. You will be able to see the option to digitise your Nol card – select the option. Make sure you have your physical card in hand!
5. After this, you will be directed to hold your Nol card to the back of your phone. Ensure that you keep it in place till the app asks you to.
6. Once done, the app will direct you to remove the card from behind your phone. It may take a few minutes for the entire process to take place and for your card to get digitised.
Please note that your physical card will be invalid after you complete this process.
