Make every dirham go further.
The problem
of UAE consumers hold two or more credit cards, spread across more than 20 banks and 200 card products.
the cost of a single missed due date, plus interest that backdates to the day you spent, at 30 to 48% APR.
months before typical UAE reward points expire, usually without anyone noticing they were there.
The product
Combined spend, utilisation and every due date across every bank, on one screen.
Ask before you pay and Zadi ranks your cards for that specific purchase, in dirhams.
The rewards you missed by paying with the wrong card, counted honestly, in real money.
Full right-to-left layout, localised dates and dirham formatting. Built in from day one.
Watch it work
Why now
The Central Bank's Open Finance framework names credit cards explicitly, alongside accounts, loans and insurance, and participation is mandatory for every licensed institution. It arrives in sequence: accounts and payment initiation went first, with ADCB, CBD, FAB and ADIB certified through 2025 and 2026. Zadi runs on manual entry today by design, which builds the habit early, and the data layer is already abstracted so live bank data replaces manual entry without rebuilding the product. Zadi never holds or moves customer funds.
