Muscat: Committed to expand the reach of its services, Oman Investment & Finance Co. (Khedmah), has recently opened three new branches in the Wilayats of Ibri Alaraqi, Liwa and Al Buraimi. Furthermore, the company has launched a new self-service kiosk in Al Muzn mall in the Wilayat of Al Seeb. With the addition of the new branches and the kiosk, Khedmah network now boasts 68 branches and 54 kiosks across Oman along with electronic channels such as the popular Khedmah phone app and the website that allow clients to leverage the company’s innovative services.

The new branches were designed as per the best practices in the industry and equipped with latest technologies known in the market. This resonates with the integrated services the company provides to its clients in order to meet their expectations and fulfil their needs. Through these branches, kiosks and other platforms, beneficiaries can pay electricity, water, telecommunications bills, and the Public Authority for Social Insurance dues, in addition to recharging their phone, prepaid electricity and entertainment subscription.

Speaking on the network expansion, Mohammed bin Obaid Al Guthi, Regional Manager of Khedmah Branches in Majan Region, said: “We are delighted to announce the opening of the new branches and the launch of the self-service kiosk. This milestone comes in line with our strategy for this year which focuses on renovating and relocating a number of Khedmah branches to more strategic and accessible locations.

Additionally, the new branches have qualified workforce trained to fulfill customers’ needs with the highest service standards. Over the past period, Khedmah’s branches and digital channels saw a strategic development in terms of expansion and new innovative services. These achievements came as a result of extensive studies conducted by the company on the locations of branches, market developments, and the level of customer satisfaction with the services delivered. This allowed OIFC to acquire insights and determine what is desired by consumers, and thus provide tailor-made services to them that meet their aspirations.
