Providers like Tabby and Tamara, available in Dubai, let you split the cost into smaller payments using a debit card - no interest, no hidden fees, and no need to open a credit line.

Most of our pay-later options are interest-free, as long as you make payments on time. When you choose a provider, you’ll see the full breakdown of what you’ll pay and when. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees, and no need to worry about extra costs creeping in later.
If there are any late fees (which only apply if you miss a payment), they’ll be clearly stated before you confirm your booking. We’ll never hide the small print or push you into a plan that doesn’t suit you.
We believe in being upfront and giving you full control of how you pay. So whether you’re spreading the cost over a few weeks or choosing to pay in 30 days, you’ll always know exactly what you’re signing up for.
