e-Purse

Introduced as part of the national e-Governance initiative, the e-Purse, embedded on national ID and resident cards, is the first of its kind in the region. Implemented by the Royal Oman Police (ROP), in association with the Information Technology Authority (ITA) and BankMuscat, the national e-Purse project will revolutionise cash transactions.

During the first phase of the project, the e-Purse can be loaded with cash only at BankMuscat branches, with the Point of Sale (PoS terminals) network of the bank facilitating card-based transactions at ROP directorates, ministries and government establishments.

In the second phase, the customers will have it even easier - the e-Purse can be loaded with cash at other banks too.
