Two short steps.

  1. 01 Card & amount. Enter the number printed on the back of the card and pick a value between 25 and 1 000 AED.
  2. 02 Bank confirms. A request opens with the acquiring bank — they verify the payment with their own 3-D Secure step.
  3. 03 Receipt by email. A TRN-bearing PDF is delivered to the address you give on the call-back step. Receipt arrives within minutes.

Where the balance lives.

Once the top-up is delivered to the issuer, the balance behaves the same as if you had loaded it at a station kiosk. The same single nol balance covers every channel below.

About the operator.

NOLCARD/AED is run by a four-person independent company in Al Karama, Dubai. We are not a government department, we are not the issuer of the card. Our job is narrow on purpose: collect the card number and the amount, route the payment through a UAE-licensed bank, and forward a top-up instruction to a clearing partner connected to the transit network.

The service has been live since 2023. We do not run an advertising business, we do not sell data, and we do not push notifications to your phone. Every page on this site can be used without creating an account.

Common questions.

Which nol cards can be topped up through this site?

The form accepts the standard 16-digit numbers printed on Silver, Personal and Gold cards. Blue and student cards stay on their dedicated channels.

What are the per-top-up limits?

Anonymous Silver cards accept 25–1 000 AED per top-up; registered Personal and Gold cards accept up to 5 000 AED. The minimum balance kept on the card is 7.5 AED.

Can I refill a card that belongs to a relative?

Yes. The site never asks for the holder’s identity — only the 16-digit number. The balance ends up on the physical card no matter who initiated the top-up.

How long until the balance reaches the card?

Day-time top-ups land on the card in 5–45 minutes. Late-night requests may queue until the next clearing window opens at 05:00 Gulf time.
