Bank Muscat facilitates easy payment at Muscat Airport car parking
Facilitated by Bank Muscat’s agreement with Oman Airport Management Company in 2019, the new convenient electronic payment option for airport visitors allows payments to be made conveniently through debit, prepaid and credit cards at the parking meters, without the need to use exact change. The initiative complements government efforts in making e-payment as the preferred mode of payment in Oman and allows usage of all bank cards for payment of parking fees at the airport. Bank Muscat commenced card acquiring operations in 2002 and since then has crossed many milestones to become the largest acquirer and issuer of cards in Oman. The bank is currently working on multiple projects to provide custom-built payment solutions.
