<div id="readability-page-1"><div>Abu Dhabi, UAE: Etihad Credit Bureau, the UAE’s federal entity for credit information, has launched a new Tenant Screening solution which enables private landlords to securely request the credit score of prospective tenants. The information is only shared once tenants accept through their UAE PASS.Etihad Credit Bureau is among the first entities to use the UAE PASS as a secure consent channel and this service was initially announced and previewed by the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) and Digital Dubai at GITEX 2025 before launching via the Etihad Bureau mobile app in April 2026. The launch represents a key milestone in the ongoing collaboration between Etihad Credit Bureau, the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA) and Digital Dubai to deliver integrated digital solutions that support market needs and are aligned to national objectives for zero-bureaucracy and digital transformation.In introducing Tenant Screening to the UAE, Etihad Bureau complements its existing Cheque Clearance Indicator feature, which has also been enhanced with AI to allow any cheque recipient to scan and assess its likelihood to be cleared – linked to the issuer’s credit registry records. Together, these solutions will further boost confidence across real estate transactions.Commenting on the launch, His Excellency Marwan Ahmad Lutfi, Director General of Etihad Credit Bureau, said:“Tenant Screening is an excellent example of the positive outcomes that result from close collaboration with our strategic partners in government and the private sector to deliver digital services that are practical, easy to use, and aligned with market needs.
