3. Supermarkets & Retail Outlets

Select supermarket chains across Dubai accept NOL card top-ups at customer service desks or dedicated terminals. These are useful when you are already doing grocery shopping and want to top up simultaneously. Coverage varies by branch — not all outlets of a chain participate.

4. Petrol Stations

ENOC (Emirates National Oil Company) and EPPCO petrol stations are among the most widely distributed top-up points outside metro stations — there are over 150 ENOC/EPPCO locations across Dubai. Top up at the convenience store counter inside the station. Most ENOC stations operate 24 hours making them one of the few physical top-up options available late at night after metro TVMs close.

5. Emirates NBD ATMs

Selected Emirates NBD ATMs include a dedicated NOL card top-up function accessible from the ATM main menu. Available to both Emirates NBD account holders and non-customers — no bank account needed, pay by debit card. Particularly useful in commercial areas where an ENBD ATM is closer than a metro station.

6. Careem App

The Careem super-app includes a NOL card recharge feature under its services section. Top up using Careem Pay credit or a linked card. Maximum top-up per transaction is AED 200 via Careem. Useful if you already use Careem for rides and prefer managing everything in one app.
