The Information & eGovernment Authority (iGA) signed a partnership agreement with CrediMax to launch the eGovernment Mobile application which will include a range of selected government electronic services with advanced features.

The signing of the agreement was attended by iGA Chief Executive Mohammed Ali AlQaed, CrediMax CEO Ahmed A Seyadi, iGA Deputy CEO, Electronic Transformation Dr Zakareya Ahmed AlKhajah, Ali Al Mishaal, Head of Digital Business and Innovation at CrediMax, in addition to other iGA officials.

The development of this new mobile application comes within the framework of iGA’s keenness to meet the request of citizens and residents to provide a unified application that includes a range of government electronic payment services, especially primary services that are used frequently.

The application is expected to have the highest standards of safety measures in place to protect the personal data of users. The Authority indicated that the expected eGovernment mobile application will include a set of innovative features, such as the personalisation of services to make government interaction more personal and customised.

The app will provide users with an enhanced overall experience that is tailored to enable them to store and use their personal information and documentation and create a list of their favourite services.

It will also offer a speedy and unified payment service for government transactions along with providing the feature of displaying the history of payments done across all eGovernment channels.

The application will include the ability to send government notifications to users about their various transactions, provide an official digital document portfolio, and appointment booking services. Users can access the application and benefit from its various electronic services by logging in using their eKey credentials.
