The station has a history of naming rights arrangements; it opened as "Noor Bank" Station on 15 May 2010, and was renamed Al Safa on November 24, 2020, then Onpassive on January 11, 2023, after a Dubai-based technology company entered an agreement with the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority to purchase ten-year naming rights.[6][8][1]
In August 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint against the Onpassive company, accusing it of fraudulently offering investors unregistered securities and operating an illegal pyramid scheme.[9] The accusations remain unsettled as of October 2024, so no action has been announced or taken on the naming of the station.
On 16 April 2024, the station closed due to flood all over the station.[10]
