"The new Nol card also offers student’s parents the capability to manage their children's accounts. This includes topping up the card balance and overseeing daily expenditure limits for their children," he added.
Students can get the card via the nol Pay app and have it delivered directly to their address.
In addition to the exciting retail discounts, the Nol card offers a 50 per cent discount on Dubai Metro, Tram, buses and marine transport.
