HSBC Bank Oman SAOG has successfully linked its newly expanded ATM network to OmanNet Switch, giving customers broader access and convenience to cash withdrawal machines across the Sultanate.

Former Oman International Bank (OIB) and HSBC customers can now also make use of all the services offered at over 100 ATMs of the newly merged entity free of charge.

“A significantly larger national ATM footprint and diversifying banking service channels is only one of the many advantages customers can enjoy as the integration process continues to realise the full benefits of the merger,” said Alan Jarman, Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management at HSBC Bank Oman. “The switch to the larger ATM network enhances the ways we can help customers and offers them faster and better access to their money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.”

Jarman went on to say that customers can use ATM networks of other local commercial banks in the Sultanate that are part of OmanNet Switch to withdraw cash and make balance enquiries along with other routine financial transactions for only 100 baisas.

Efficient cash withdrawal points and secure terminal environments is part and parcel of HSBC Bank Oman’s customer experience standards. The bank prides itself on responding proactively to the ever-present risks that can compromise confidence in ATM usage by utilising the latest technology to drive performance and safeguard customer interests.

In the coming months, former OIB ATMs will be upgraded to improve their look and feel and re-branded to feature the iconic HSBC red hexagon logo.
