Dubai, UAE, 15 December 2023
Salik Company P.J.S.C., the exclusive toll gate operator in the Emirate of Dubai, is expanding its partnership with Careem, the region’s leading Everything App, to enable the delivery of Salik tags directly to customers via the latter’s ultra-fast grocery service, Careem Quik. Careem Pay already enables customers to recharge their Salik accounts through the app.
More than 300,000 customers have connected their postpaid and prepaid bills to Careem Pay, giving them the option to easily automate payments for their Salik recharges and other bills. Salik users can save time by recharging their accounts with a simple touch of a button and even set up an auto recharge feature to avoid their balances running low.
Ibrahim Al Haddad, CEO of Salik, commented: “At Salik, we are elated to expand our partnership with Careem to ensure added convenience for our valued customers. By enabling easy delivery of Salik tags and account balance recharges, this partnership demonstrates our resolve to improve customer experience and maximise value for our customer base. Customers can now manage their Salik accounts more easily than ever, as we leverage Careem’s extensive network and advanced solutions to bring Salik services at their fingertips. We look forward to adopting new solutions and building strategic alliances in keeping with our goal of promptly responding to the evolving needs of our customers.”
Mudassir Sheikha, CEO and Co-founder of Careem, said: “We are expanding our partnership with Salik to make it easier than ever for customers in the UAE to order Salik tags directly to their homes and recharge their accounts, all through the Careem app. We hope to help people free up more time in their day by removing the need to drive to other locations to buy a Salik tag. This partnership enables us to use our strengths as the region’s leading mobility, delivery, and payments platform to deliver even more convenience and value to our customers.”
