SADAD, the Kingdom’s payment channel, has announced its partnership with the Bahrain Government to offer customers a simple and convenient method to pay any outstanding amounts on a substantial number of Bahrain’s government services, in line with the Kingdom’s 2030 vision of electronic transformation of all government services.

Multiple ministries and their respective departments have either already gone live or in the process of going live with SADAD Payment Channels. The services are provided by the government to individuals, businesses and governmental entities who wish to inquire about the payment of government-issued bills and outstanding amounts within the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Justice, Municipalities, and the General Directorate of Traffic. To access their information, the service requires users to input their details and select the required entity at the SADAD kiosk, website or App in order to process their payment requests to any of the organizations and government services available.

SADAD’s services will enable customers to pay their outstanding and billable amounts with ease at any time and on any device, while eliminating the need to wait. SADAD is the only digital platform within the Kingdom to provide a multi-payment feature, enabling customers to pay all their government-issued bills with one click. For example, customers can complete their GDT transactions through one of SADAD’s kiosks, all they must do is enter their personal and vehicle details to proceed to payment, while other services available include renewal and registration of vehicles, as well as license renewal.
