In July 2026, Network International integrated the UAE’s domestic Jaywan card scheme into its e‑commerce gateway, allowing online purchases without merchant fees, while First Abu Dhabi Bank launched a Jaywan‑branded debit card for in‑store, online, cash‑withdrawal and tokenised wallet use. 

By early August 2026, the UAE Ministry of Finance became the first federal agency to use the national instant‑payment platform Aani and the Jaywan card for collecting service fees and fines, extending the scheme to government transactions. The ministry also highlighted new travel, shopping and lifestyle benefits for Jaywan cardholders, signalling a shift from private‑sector pilots to broad governmental adoption and a wider range of consumer incentives.
