Our new Domestic Workers Salary Payment solution is a step in this direction allowing sponsors to make hassle-free payments to their employees on time. This launch strategically aligns with our efforts to be financially inclusive keeping pace with the digital age and ensuring we cater for the needs of all our customers including the unbanked population.. I firmly believe that this initiative from MOHRE and CBUAE will be another success story similar to the existing WPS system which was introduced in 2009
