Banks and exchange houses

Fine discounts
Some emirates offer fine discount initiatives during specific periods (e.g. Ramadan, National Day). Abu Dhabi has offered up to 50% off for early payment in past campaigns. Dubai occasionally runs similar programs. These are announced on official police social media channels and are time-limited.
Discount eligibility
Discount campaigns typically exclude severe violations (reckless driving, DUI, and offences that resulted in vehicle confiscation). Check the terms of each campaign.Disputing a fine
- Visit the issuing authority's website or service centre within 30 days of the fine.
- Submit a dispute form with your vehicle details, the fine reference number and your reason for disputing.
- Provide evidence (photos, dashcam footage, documents) to support your case.
- The authority will review and notify you of the decision — typically within 2–4 weeks.
Paying fines — FAQ
Can I pay another emirate's fine in Dubai?
Some platforms (like the MOI app) allow you to see fines across emirates. However, payment routing varies — you may be redirected to the issuing authority's portal to complete the payment.
What happens if I don't pay a traffic fine?
Unpaid fines block vehicle registration renewal and can block travel for serious violations. Accumulated fines may also result in vehicle impoundment.
Can I pay traffic fines in instalments?
Some banks offer instalment plans for large accumulated fines through their credit card services. The police themselves do not typically offer instalment options.
