The portal makes it easy for Omani citizens and residents to donate with a single click from anywhere and at their suitable time without a need to travel to any of the charity organisations.
The donations portal processes donations through bank cards issued in Oman and currently doesn't accept donations through any other cards. The portal can be effectively used by Omani citizens/residents who have account in Omani banks to make donations online.
