Sohar International’s initiative ‘Take It from Us’ or ‘Khudha Minna’ gained increasing popularity since its launch earlier in the year. Live-streamed monthly, the program was geared at spreading financial knowledge by providing free advisory on different banking products and services offered by the local banks. With each episode delving into different financial instruments, the bank was successfully able to engage with the community and respond to their various queries. It covered various topics like personal loans, auto loans, insurance, and savings accounts. To make the program more entertaining while taking on a more comprehensive approach, it also highlighted the unique tourism adventure experience offered by SMEs or local companies.

Recently, Sohar International was ranked by the highly coveted Best Banks Survey as the ‘Fastest Growing Bank’ in the Large Banks Category and ‘Excellence in Digital Transformation’ at the Oman Banking and Finance Awards.
