Oil prices are surging amid tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, and with UAE petrol costs already rising, what could this mean for your wallet next?

Communication via WhatsApp is no longer allowed for financial services in the UAE, effective from today. That means no sharing customer data, no processing transactions, and not even sending one-time passwords through this platform as part of a wider push to tackle fraud and better protect customer information.

There is a change in property investor visa rules in Dubai, removing the minimum property value requirement and potentially opening the door to a whole new wave of buyers.

Dubai rolls out a clearer framework to boost consumer rights in the aviation sector.

And we also ask, is there something wrong with WhatsApp?
