The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) today with
7X to offer 7X’s “Wayn” service, the UAE’s Digital P.O. Box, to licenced businesses in Abu Dhabi.

According to ADDED, the agreement represents a pivotal step in enhancing collaboration between government, private
entities, and authorities to strengthen digital communication systems and safeguard them against cyber threats.

It aims to equip the business sector with cutting-edge digital tools to keep pace with rapid technological advancements,
reinforcing the UAE’s standing on the global stage.

This initiative aims to support the local business sector and economy, drive digital transformation, and ensure secure postal
services for individuals and businesses, said ADDED in a statement.

Once verified and added to the platform's whitelist, companies licensed by ADDED will be able to securely and reliably
communicate with their customers, enhancing trust in their digital services.

The Wayn platform enables individuals and companies to obtain a permanent UAE digital address linked to their physical
addresses, verified through their national ID or through the National Economic Register (NER).

The platform ensures the receipt of shipments sent by individuals, companies, and government entities, as well as the receipt
of letters, documents, and e-bills from official and authorised senders to thwart cybersecurity threats such as phishing, spam,
and fraud.

Users of the platform will be able to decide to receive any shipment at a physical address of their choice – whether at one of
emirates Post's nationwide branches, authorised pick-up and drop-off points, at home, or at the office if users have subscribed
to the MyHome Package service.
