Meethaq celebrates 50th National Day with special offers for customers

MUSCAT: Meethaq, the pioneer of Islamic banking in Oman from Bank Muscat, has begun the countdown to the Sultanate’s 50th National Day celebrations with a number of special deals and offers for customers in line with its vision “To serve you better, everyday”. The new promotional offers from Meethaq will continue until the end of December 2020.

Meethaq announced that customers, who open a Meethaq salary account and transfer their salary, will receive 10 per cent of their salary or up to a maximum of OMR500, whichever is lower as a one-time cash bonus on a ‘first come first serve’ basis.

The bank has also announced that successful applicants for Meethaq Credit Cards will be exempt from paying the annual fees for the first year. Meethaq Credit Cards are based on the concept of

Ujrah and no interest-based fee is charged on the cards. Customers are also eligible for a highly competitive profit rate of 5.50 per cent for housing finance. Similarly, Meethaq customers are also eligible for auto finance at a special profit rate of 5.50 per cent along with free Life Takaful coverage during this promotion period.

In addition, Meethaq has lined up a special cash prize draw for its Hibati savings account customers in conjunction with the Sultanate’s 50th National Day. Fifty lucky winners will walk away with a cash prize of OMR1,000 each and a total of OMR50,000 will be given away at the draw. Eligibility for the draws is based on an average weekly balance of OMR100 and customers will have more chances of winning if they maintain higher balances in their Hibati savings accounts. The bank has invited all its customers to take advantage of the opportunity and win exciting cash prizes by increasing their savings in their accounts.

Another 50th National Day special offer is a 50 per cent special discount on annual rentals for safe deposit lockers applicable for the 1st year. Subject to availability, new customers may enjoy the special discount by opening a savings account and booking a locker with any Meethaq branch which offers safe deposit locker services.
