AMMAN — The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship in cooperation with the Jordan Central Bank are working towards a new digital payment system.
By the beginning of 2020, government payments to citizens, including National Aid Fund payments and bread subsidies, will be made through bank accounts or digital wallets to save time, according to a ministry statement.
To prevent minor violations and corruption, direct cash payments to the government institutions will be no longer accepted in the upcoming year, the statement added.
The ministry affirmed that no additional charges will be imposed on electronic payments and collection of revenues.
