The Emirates ID which holds an individual’s basic info, photo, and even fingerprints on its electronic chip is mandatory for those residing in UAE. This card can be used for many beneficial things making tasks much easier for the ID holder.
Some of the benefits include:
Emirates ID at DXB airport’s e-gates:
A border control system that operates autonomously is known as smart gates. They are in DXB airport's Terminal 3 and identify travellers using face recognition software.
Smart gates identify if a visitor is a citizen of the United Arab Emirates, a national of the Gulf Cooperation Council, a resident of the United Arab Emirates, or a visitor with a visa upon arrival by matching their faces to data linked to immigration databases.
Sliding your Emirates ID card and looking at the gate's green light is all that's required to utilise your ID to get through the smart gate. Before entering, you must take off your hats, face masks, and spectacles.
Withdrawing cash from Banks:
Customers in the UAE can withdraw cash from a number of banks by presenting their Emirates ID.
Mashreq
Customers may create accounts, pay bills, update personal information, and withdraw and deposit cash at Mashreq Bank simply by presenting their Emirates ID.
Customers utilising Mashreq ATMs can select from a variety of choices, such as cash withdrawal, local and international transfers, and chequebook and statement inquiries, by presenting their current bank cards on the screen.
Al Hilal Bank
The ATMs operated by Al Hilal Bank accept Emirates IDs for cash transfers and withdrawals.
Emirates NBD
If your phone is connected to the Emirates NBD mobile app, you may make cash withdrawals using your EID. To obtain the required amount from the ATM, enter the code that you will receive via the app.
Emirates ID as your health insurance card:
