Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) has announced the launch of its Salik Recharge facility via the bank’s Al Islami online banking service.

Launched in cooperation with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), this new service allows DIB customers to make bill payments, enquire about their Salik account balance and recharge their Salik account.

The service, which offers real-time payment solutions, is available in both Arabic and English.

There is a minimum payment amount per transaction of 50 dirhams and a maximum payment amount per transaction of 5,000 dirhams. All payments must be made in multiples of 50 dirhams.

Dr. Adnan Chilwan, chief of retail and business banking, DIB, said: “As part of DIB’s commitment to providing high-quality and convenient customer service, we are pleased to introduce this new facility, which allows our customers to manage their Salik accounts online simply and conveniently.”

He added that DIB customers are already able to pay credit card bills, utility bills, make Etisalat bill payments, Al Wasl line recharge, charity payments, funds transfers and other services through the bank’s electronic banking services – these include ATM machines and Al Islami phone banking among others.

The launch of DIB’s online Salik Recharge Facility follows the bank’s earlier announcement in October 2007 of a telephone Salik recharge facility.

....but what about non-customers of the bank? Why can't the RTA work on making topping-up easier on the general public as a whole?
