du Pay, the advanced digital wallet solution by du, has joined forces with talabat, the Middle East’s leading delivery platform, in a landmark regional partnership set to transform financial services for UAE’s delivery riders. This first-of-its-kind collaboration will offer secure, seamless ways for riders to receive salaries, pay bills, transfer money both within the UAE and internationally, and manage finances using a single digital wallet app.
Designed to support the unique needs of the UAE’s blue-collar workforce and gig economy, the partnership issues digital payments, instant salary access, cost-effective international remittances, fast-pay options, and personalized incentives—all backed by Central Bank of the UAE regulation for maximum security and trust.
By equipping thousands of delivery riders with reliable cashless payment tools, du Pay and talabat aim to boost financial inclusion, accelerate the UAE’s transition to a cashless economy, and align with the Dubai Department of Finance’s vision to make 90% of all transactions cashless by 2026.
