Abu Dhabi has officially embraced digital currency for court fee payments, making it the first government department in the Middle East to do so. The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department (ADJD) has partnered with Al Maryah Bank to allow residents to pay legal and judicial service fees using AE Coin, a UAE-regulated stablecoin. The move is part of a broader digital transformation strategy, aiming to streamline financial transactions and offer residents a secure, instant, and fully digital alternative to traditional payment methods. Payments will be processed through the AEC Wallet, giving users a fast and future-focused way to handle court-related expenses. Counsellor Yousef Saeed Al Abri, Undersecretary of ADJD, said the initiative falls in line with the department's wider development strategy, aimed at enhancing access and efficiency in legal services. Mohammed Wassim Khayata, CEO of Al Maryah Bank, emphasized the broader significance: 'It's not merely a technological step; it's about delivering advanced, secure financial experiences that reflect the UAE's values and future vision.' Ramez Rafiq, General Manager of IED Stablecoin—the company behind AE Coin—also praised the development. 'AE Coin was developed to be a secure, efficient, and regulatory-compliant digital payment solution tailored for the UAE,' he said. 'Its adoption by such a prominent government entity marks a pivotal moment for us and the region's evolving digital finance landscape.' This move sets a regional benchmark for how blockchain and stablecoin payments can be successfully integrated into government operations—starting with the courtroom.
