Muscat: Homes and their contents are the most valuable possessions most people own in their lifetimes. Hence, getting quality home insurance might be your best choice to protect your home and everything under its roof against damage or destruction caused by natural disasters or accidents.

To provide maximum protection to its customers, Bank Muscat, the leading financial services provider in the Sultanate of Oman, had earlier tied up with GIG Gulf, the no. 1 regional insurer to offer comprehensive protection through GIG Home Insurance. Recently on the occasion of the bank’s 40th Anniversary, Bank Muscat announced that a 40 per cent discount would be available to customers on home contents and personal belongings insurance cover during a special promotional period, which ends on December 31.

Speaking on the occasion, Abdullah Tamman Al Maashani, General Manager - Products at Bank Muscat, said, “The bank is delighted to join hands with GIG Gulf, the No. 1 regional insurer, to provide an innovative home insurance plan for the benefit of all its customers. This partnership has not only delivered excellent value but has also played a key role in enhancing our value proposition to our customers. In line with the valuable feedback received on our bancassurance plans, Bank Muscat is pleased to offer coverage at significantly reduced rates to celebrate the bank’s 40th anniversary.”
Abdullah Al Maashani also took the opportunity to thank customers for their confidence and trust in Bank Muscat.
