At Sohar International, our programs and schemes have supported customers in making the right choices to secure their future, urging them to start their journey of saving, particularly to prepare for tough times. On behalf of Sohar International, I would like to congratulate each of the winners of the year-end grand draws and would also like to highlight that with our new prize scheme for the year 2021, customers will now have even bigger chances of winning if they continue with their saving habits and make the most of the coming prize draws. So, stay tuned for the reveal of 2021 campaign, which will have more winners and more chances for our customers.”
