Prior to the roll out of the seven-month pilot phase of the ADNOC Smart service, the company also invites customers to subscribe for the ADNOC Wallet by visiting the website (www.adnocdistribution.ae/smart) and following the simple registration process.

In addition to receiving free ADNOC Plus cards, the early customers to register will also have their Emirates ID cards linked to their ADNOC Wallet accounts and activated for free.

The ADNOC Wallet allows customers to pay for their purchases at the participating service stations in three different ways - via the Smart Tag (a smart chip installed at the fuel inlet of the vehicles' fuel tank and linked to the ADNOC Wallet account), the ADNOC Plus cards, or via their ID cards that are also linked to the ADNOC Wallet and activated for payments. The smart payment solutions are aimed at providing customers with added conveniences and safety, enabling them to manage their accounts from anywhere, at any time via tablets or mobiles.
