Commenting on the initiative, Muneer Al Balushi – AGM- Head of Retail Distribution, ahlibank said, “At ahlibank, we are working towards encouraging a savings culture among the people of Oman.

Saving becomes an important aspect of their financial journey. The 2021 Wafra prize scheme is a part of this endeavor as it provides an opportunity for customers to win a salary for a lifetime thereby giving them financial security. The qualifying criterion for these draws fuel the motivation to save.”
