Ratibi services are offered according to the WPS guidelines in the UAE. WPS is a solution to the problem of low-income UAE workers whose monthly salary does not exceed AED 5,000 and who cannot use regulated financial products. On the other hand, employers are spared the costs and risks associated with paying wages by cheque or cash, as was the practice in the past.
Prepaid vs debit card
A prepaid card is a card issued by a bank or financial institution on which you can load the amount you want to spend. While a debit card is linked to your bank account and a credit card gives you a balance, you can buy a prepaid card with no bank transactions and no balance. You or a third party can load these cards, and you can do online and offline transactions until your balance is used up. So when you use a prepaid card, you don’t need to have credit. You use money that has already been deposited with a bank or financial institution.

Ratibi prepaid card is intended to support companies to replace traditional payment methods such as checks. This will enable many companies to control the payment process while allowing their employees to exchange money through cash registers and ATMs all over the world.
