Quick Pay for business accounts
e& business customers can also use Quick Pay to pay bills with the account number and no login, while the Business Online Portal lets companies manage several accounts and allocate payments across them. Small businesses with many lines often combine the portal with Autopay so bills are never missed.
Setting up Autopay
- Log in to e& online services at etisalat.ae/online.
- Register your credit card for standing instructions.
- e& charges the card on the bill’s due date each month.
Autopay is free and means you never miss a due date. If your card expires or is replaced, update it straight away, or the payment fails and the bill stays unpaid.
Get your bill by email (eBill)
Text your email address to 1997 from your e& number to receive your eBill by email from the following month. The bill shows the account number, the amount due and the due date, which you need for Quick Pay or a bank payment.

Common Quick Pay problems
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Card declined | Use a UAE or GCC-issued card with online payments enabled, and complete the bank OTP |
| Recharge amount rejected | Keep each recharge at AED 300 or less |
| Account number not recognised | Check whether it is a mobile number or an eLife account number; copy it from the bill |
| Payment taken but bill still unpaid | Allow a short time for posting, keep the receipt and contact e& on 101 |
| Page does not load | Try another browser, or pay by phone on 101 or in the e& UAE app |
Paying on time
Pay by the due date shown on your bill. If a postpaid bill stays unpaid, outgoing services can be restricted until it is settled, so set up Autopay if you travel often. Before renewing or changing a line, clear any balance; our guides to renewing an Etisalat SIM and updating your Emirates ID with e& explain the other steps. To share credit with someone instead of paying for them, see how to transfer Etisalat balance.
