How do I set up autopay for all my Dubai bills?

For DEWA, check your bank's internet or mobile banking for supported direct-debit or automatic bill-payment options. Use the correct DEWA account details and confirm whether the arrangement pays the actual bill or transfers a fixed amount. Saving DEWA as a beneficiary—or using EasyPay once—doesn't automatically enable recurring payments.

For du, sign in to the official app or My Account and look for auto-payment settings. For e&, open Bills & Payments and select Autopay through its official app or online account. Register an accepted payment card, choose the available payment settings and complete the authorisation yourself.

Cooling and gas arrangements depend on your building's provider. Check its official portal or ask customer service whether recurring card payments or direct debit are available. If they aren't, save the biller in your bank and set a reminder before the due date.

For Salik, check whether your bank supports automatic top-ups. This replenishes a prepaid balance rather than paying a monthly invoice. Rent needs a separate agreement with your landlord: a standing order does not replace the payment method or schedule in your tenancy contract.

For variable bills, paying the full billed amount helps avoid a shortfall, provided that option is supported and you maintain sufficient funds or card credit. A fixed standing order can leave part of a larger summer utility bill unpaid.

After setup, check when autopay takes effect and whether an existing balance needs separate payment. Keep notifications switched on, review the first successful transaction and update your details when a card expires. Continue checking statements for unusual charges or failed payments.
