18 Dec 2025 CW Team

The integration enables seamless registration, updates and real-time enquiries with MOHRE, significantly streamlining salary disbursement processes while reinforcing regulatory compliance, operational efficiency and governance across payroll operations. Through the integration, Al Ansari Exchange has enhanced its ability to deliver fully WPS-compliant salary payment services across all its channels.

Corporate and domestic employers can now directly retrieve employee information from MOHRE systems and initiate salary payments instantly. The platform also enables real-time salary status reporting, improving transparency and enabling employers to monitor payroll execution more efficiently.

Commenting on the development, Ali Al Najjar, CEO, Al Ansari Exchange, said, “The integration of our systems with the relevant authorities marks a significant milestone in our efforts to reinforce regulatory compliance and advance digital transformation. This strategic step reflects our commitment to the Wage Protection System, enhances our payroll management capabilities with greater efficiency and transparency, and ultimately supports employers while empowering employees, in line with the UAE’s national vision.”

The integration further allows employers to register for WPS processing and track salary transfers through Al Ansari Exchange’s digital platforms, including the Al Ansari Exchange Mobile App and the eExchange corporate portal. Salary details are automatically populated from MOHRE records, reducing manual intervention and the risk of errors. Upon successful salary disbursement, MOHRE and the Central Bank receive instant status updates, supported by periodic regulatory reports generated by Al Ansari Exchange.

The milestone reinforces Al Ansari Exchange’s role as a key enabler of financial inclusion and digital innovation in the UAE. By simplifying payroll management while ensuring strict adherence to regulatory frameworks, the company continues to contribute to the strengthening of the country’s evolving FinTech and digital payments infrastructure.
