The integration with the Vision Plus service into Dubai First's credit card and consumer finance business will enhance transactional security, shorter turn around times, a higher degree of flexibility, and efficiency.

Migrating these systems to the new platforms, from the planning stages to execution, was completed in a record six months. Although integrating Dubai First's entire portfolio of over 80,000 plus customers with the new system was a challenging task, elaborate planning and precise execution ensured minimal impact on normal card usage.
