DUBAI — MBME, the UAE’s leading payment and government services platform, has partnered with PayTabs, MENA’s award winning B2B payments solutions provider to launch Govera — a flexible and user-friendly bill payment application. The super-smart multi-biller, multi-currency and multi-language mobile application is equipped with a wide spectrum of features and functionalities which enable UAE residents to pay all their bills, tolls and fares easily and securely. In-line with UAE government mandated mobility restrictions to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, Govera ensures accessibility and convenience, easing the burden on consumers who are sensibly self-distancing at home. Govera aims to add convenience to millions of subscribers and reduce the time they spend outside of their homes during this period. With a few simple taps and clicks, the all-in-one bill payment application will let subscribers pay everything from utility and telecom bills to Salik toll fares and even request iTunes vouchers to wipe away boredom. According to World Pay’s Global Payment Report, fraud ranks top of UAE consumers’ payment application concerns. In a country where Internet penetration is 96 percent, Govera is a secure and seamless payment experience designed to optimize digital transactions. Commenting on the launch, Abdelhadi Mohamed CEO of MBME PAY, said: “We believe in making people’s life easier and providing them with all the convenient ways possible for that, especially during the difficult time we are all going through. “We thought of something to help our loyal customers to make all their payments from the comfort of their home.

We are delighted to announce this partnership between our two powerful brands to ensure safety and create convenience for millions of individuals, subscribers and bill payment app users in the UAE at the right time. “Govera is poised to become the Middle East’s favorite bill payment application and we welcome you to add your school, restaurant or business to the app to capitalize on and approach millions of users.” — SG
