Dubai: Motorists who hold credit cards from Commercial International Bank (CIB) can settle their traffic fines over a course of three, six or twelve months — in interest-free instalments, Dubai Police said on Friday.

The minimum payment under the instalments plan is Dh500.

The new service will be launch after two weeks following an agreement signed by Dubai Police and the bank.

All that CIB credit card holders have to do is to download the Dubai Police app, or use the police website to pay their fines. Payments can also be made through service centres.

Brigadier Humaid Salem Al Suwaidi, acting director of finance at Dubai Police, said the agreement aims to open new channels of payment for motorists.

Anil Kumar, from CIB said: “This new partnership with Dubai Police will provide our customers with a quick and efficient system of clearing traffic fines while facilitating payment flexibility and customer convenience.”

On February this year, Dubai Police signed a similar agreement with First Gulf Bank and, last year, Dubai Police signed a similar agreement with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. Emirates NBD started offering the traffic fine instalment plan in 2014.
