Salik's non-toll revenue reached Dh8.7 million in H1 2025, driven mainly by its parking payment solutions partnerships with Emaar Malls and Parkonic, the company said. At Dubai Mall — where Salik launched its first barrier-free parking payment solution with Emaar Malls on July 1, 2024 — the partnership generated Dh5.6 million in H1 2025, including Dh2.9 million in Q2. The solution was implemented across the Fashion, Grand and Cinema parking zones of the mall. The collaboration with Parkonic — one of the largest private parking operators in the UAE — is a five-year agreement to integrate Salik accounts in all current and future locations it operates across the country. Operations are now live in 73 of 154 planned sites since mid-February. The tie-up also marks Salik's first expansion of services outside Dubai. Salik said its LIVA (formerly RSA) motor insurance partnership continued to gain traction in H1 2025, streamlining policy renewals via reminders that direct customers to a dedicated landing page for quick purchase. Under a Memorandum of Understanding with ENOC, Salik and ENOC plan to enable smart payments for fuel and other services — including Autopro, Tasjeel and Zoom — with the option to deduct transactions from a customer's Salik balance using automatic number plate recognition technology.
