Oman Cards and Payments Market Dynamics
To drive digital payments in the country and reduce the dependence on cash, Bank Muscat in August 2022 rolled out a QR code payment acceptance service to merchants, enabling them to accept electronic payments from customers. Consumers holding any mobile wallet can make payments by simply scanning the merchant’s QR code. QR-code payments are based on the Central Bank of Oman’s Mobile Payment System (MPS), which also allows consumers to make payments, transfer funds, or request funds from others.
Moreover, various initiatives have helped boost e-commerce in Oman. In February 2022, the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (also known as Madayn) launched an e-commerce platform called Souq Madayn. The platform allows retailers to sell products manufactured in Oman online both domestically and internationally. Meanwhile, to capitalize on strong e-commerce growth, retail brands are also expanding their online reach in Oman.
