As per the agreements, the registered merchant groups will offer eFloos as a payment mode at their various stores across Oman

With an addition of new business groups to our mobile payment gateway, eFloos customers now have access to over 461 businesses and an easy payment method across the country,” said Khalil Al Hedaifi, Chief Retail Banking Officer of Sohar International.
