MUSCAT -- In collaboration with the Royal Oman Police (ROP), Bank Muscat, the flagship financial services provider in the Sultanate, introduced a state-of-the-art biometric system compatible with the national identification card (NID). Major General Sulaiman bin Mohammed al Harthy, Assistant Inspector General of Police and Customs for Financial and Administrative Affairs, unveiled the new system introduced for the first time in the banking sector in Oman, in the presence of AbdulRazak Ali Issa, Chief Executive, senior bank and ROP officials.
The biometric identification system available across the network of 138 branches provides the latest solutions in national identity during banking services.
