Additionally, the card offers double activation rewards along with exclusive insurance rates.

Omani healthcare workers will not need to transfer their salary to OAB while a one-month salary limit is set for the credit card.

Highlighting the importance of the launch of the credit card, Rashad Al Shaikh, acting head of Retail Banking Division at Oman Arab Bank, said: “The Coronavirus has had its toll on a majority of the population in the Sultanate.

“However, to mitigate its impact, there are several frontline healthcare workers that are performing their duties with dedication, saving lives and ensure everyone’s health and well-being. This new credit card is a unique offering, created specifically for them and providing incredible benefits.
