MUSCAT: The Sultanate of Oman continues to make steady progress on its digital transformation journey in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040.
Data from the Digital Economy Explorer reflects meaningful advancement across key pillars of the digital economy, strengthening policy development and supporting sustainable digital growth.
As part of this transformation, the Ministry of Finance has launched the first phase of the Unified Government Financial System “Maliya”, designed to modernise financial procedures and enhance connectivity across government institutions.
Supporting the national digital agenda, Global Money Exchange Co. LLC (GMEC) has introduced Global Pay, a new mobile payment application delivering secure and inclusive digital financial services.
Powered by Comviva’s mobiquity® Pay platform, the app enables both local and international payments and is PCI-DSS certified, ensuring strong security and data protection standards.
Sheikh Sulaiman Abdulmalik Abdullah Al Khalili, Chairman of Global Money Exchange, said the Global Pay App enables secure and efficient domestic and cross-border transactions. “We believe the mobile application will be widely adopted by both Omani nationals and expatriates,” he said.
Subromoniyan K S, Managing Director of Global Money Exchange, noted that customers can conveniently pay utility bills and education fees without requiring a bank account, helping expand financial inclusion.
Sonam Dorje, General Manager of Global Money Exchange, added that Global Pay is supported by a comprehensive customer service framework, allowing users to visit any GMEC branch nationwide or contact a dedicated helpline for assistance.
Madhusoodanan R, Executive Advisor to the Board of Global Money Exchange, highlighted that GMEC is the first money exchange company in Oman to receive a Payment Service Provider (PSP) licence. He said the initiative strongly supports Oman’s ambition to build a cashless economy, with additional features to be introduced in phases for continued customer benefit.
