MUSCAT: Bank Muscat, the leading financial services provider in the Sultanate, has launched another new feature in its Mobile Banking application and Internet Banking for the benefit of its customers in line with its vision ‘To serve you better, everyday’ and commitment to innovation reflecting the latest technological trends.

The bank will receive and process the application, and customers can pick up their personalised Prepaid card later from their chosen delivery branch. The latest feature is a new addition to several other features, which were added in the recent past, including availability of QR code payments through mBanking and BM Wallet, Speed Transfer service to Egypt, bill payments to Awasr and instant Debit Card linkage to one's account through Internet banking and mBanking app and visibility of linked Floosi and Children’s accounts within parents’ accounts.
