Dubai Cashless Strategy: Crypto.com Partners with Dubai Government for Payment Services

Dubai’s Department of Finance (DOF), on 12 May 2025, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Crypto.com to enable crypto payments for various payment services.

As a result of this collaboration, residents and businesses will be able to pay for services like visa fees, licensing, and utilities with crypto via Dubai Pay, the government’s digital payment platform. A pilot program later this year will commence the implementation of this service.

Crypto.com President Mohammed Al Hakim said, “Today’s announcement represents significant progress for the adoption of digital finance with a comprehensive integration into the layers of government payments.” Notably, the company entered Dubai in 2023 after receiving its first Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) license.
