BankDhofar has announced that it will use Ripple’s unique tool for cross-border payment, making it the first bank in Oman to use RippleNet, a global corporate Blockchain network suitable for remittance services.
The Chief Information Officer of BankDhofar, Dr. Tariq Taha stated “We are delighted to be the first bank in Oman to join RippleNet and access more than 100 of its member banks and other financial institutions utilizing blockchain for instant payments. With this, we can provide instant, frictionless and secure cross border money transfers within seconds, with end-to-end visibility over the journey of the payment.”
This initiative is part of the ongoing transformation plan of BankDhofar, which is putting digital technology and innovation at the center of its strategy to improve the experience of its customers.
