“As Oman’s economy becomes increasingly digital, we believe it is essential to equip every business with the means to thrive. Our merchant payment solutions reflect this belief by helping businesses accept payments securely while staying competitive, connected and ready for what comes next.”
The Merchant QR Code service offers an efficient, terminal-free payment method that enables customers to scan and pay instantly. This feature is especially suitable for home-based and microbusinesses, offering a contactless and easy-to-use solution through a static QR code issued by the bank.
With these offerings, NBO aims to increase digital payment accessibility, helping businesses operate more efficiently through merchant payments while supporting Oman’s broader economic digital transformation goals.
