- First Abu Dhabi Bank
Just visit any of these banks within two weeks of getting the fine to set up your payment plan.
Pro Tips to Remember:
- Set calendar reminders to check for fines monthly
- Keep screenshots of your payments as backup
- If you spot a mistake, you can dispute it through Abu Dhabi Police
- Yes, you can pay fines for others (great for helping out family or friends)
Alternative Ways to Pay
If EVG isn’t your thing, you’ve got options:
- Abu Dhabi Police website/app
- TAMM portal (for Abu Dhabi residents)
- Ministry of Interior website
Remember: The key to avoiding headaches with traffic fines in the UAE is staying on top of them. Regular checks and prompt payments will save you money and stress in the long run.

Paying Fines in Instalments
Managing your finances has never been easier – whether it’s checking your RPay balance with just a few taps or handling those unexpected traffic fines. Speaking of which, if paying your fines in one go isn’t feasible, Abu Dhabi Police has partnered with several banks to offer a zero-interest installment option.
Banks such as Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), Emirates Islamic Bank, and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) let you split your fine payments over a year. Simply visit one of these banks within two weeks of receiving the fine, and they’ll set up an installment plan for you.
While you’re at it, make sure to keep track of your available balance through the RPay app – staying on top of your finances helps you plan better for these kinds of expenses.
