She emphasised that the system strives to fulfil various goals in the financial industry, including increasing the efficiency of financial procedures and automating collection, payment, and settlement processes in a secure and reliable manner.
Mira Bin Haddah, Head of the Financial Systems and Smart Applications Department at the Central Finance Department, gave a brief overview of the Tahseel digital payment system, which provides a unified and integrated digital platform that the department uses to control fee collection processes and process immediate payments securely and easily.
According to Bin Haddah, the collecting platform's services outperformed those of other financial platforms.
36 government agencies, six corporate companies, twenty business service centres, and ten service partners use the system. The overall number of beneficiaries reached around 121 distinct entities.
She stated that the system uses 15 payment methods and 22 payment and recharge channels, has over 600,000 registered accounts, and processes over 7 million payment transactions a year.

He emphasised that the automated cheque payment process is subject to a stringent governance framework for cheques, customers, and companies.
