The station has a history of naming rights arrangements; it opened as "Noor Bank" Station on 15 May 2010, and was renamed to Al Safa on November 24, 2020, then Onpassive (sometimes stylized 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] As the accusations remain unsettled, no action has been announced or taken on the naming of the station.
