CBO: Banks don’t seek confidential details

Muscat: The CBO has said that all the licenced banks or exchange companies operating in Oman do not seek any banking information such as the password, card number or account number.

The Central Bank of Oman (CBO) issued a circular in this regard on Thursday. It also stated that all licenced banks or exchange companies operating in the Sultanate will never call or contact through various social media programmes or by sending text messages requesting direct access via links.

Thus, whoever is exposed to such messages or communications must inform the authorities represented by the Royal Oman Police (ROP) or the banks operating in the Sultanate.
