Through the Central Bank's Direct Payment System
DLD allows rent payments through bank accounts without cheques
Dubai Land Department (DLD) has announced the possibility of paying rents through the Central Bank of the UAE's Direct Payment System, in order to facilitate the journey of customers within the various procedures related to the department and its services.
DLD stated that its move comes as part of its strategy to empower the real estate community through proactive real estate services and leading digital infrastructure.
No checks
According to the system, tenants can now pay rent without cheques, through direct payment channels for rents in Dubai, through their bank accounts through the "Noqodi" portal, which authorizes tenants to pay directly, after fully integrating the "Ejari" application with the "Noqody" system, which provides the possibility of scheduling the payment of rental fees upon signing the new contract, or in the event of renewing the contract.
The system is characterized by the ease of procedures that the customer must follow to set up the electronic wallet in Noqodi system, thus reducing the debts incurred by the tenant or the owner alike, due to other payment methods.
According to DLD, through the system, direct payments can be arranged according to the terms of the contract, without the need for checks, thus preventing owners and property managers from dealing with post-dated cheques, providing more flexible payment options for tenants, facilitating the process of buying and managing properties, and collecting rents easily for individual investors from outside the country.
The direct payment system will ensure awareness, trust and transparency in the real estate sector, and harness technology to develop real estate products, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of operations and corporate governance.
