Bank Sohar, an Oman-based bank, plans to launch ‘Credit Card SMS Alert, a new SMS alert system for its credit card holders. The new service will update customers on all activities that involve the use of their card from transactions at shops and other outlets to updating them on their latest bill.
The new service will be automatically available for all credit card holders at Bank Sohar. The card family of the Bank Sohar includes the excel classic, gold and platinum credit cards and the recently launched, visa IExcel internet card.
The service will be effective from December 14, and the new alert will contain a range of information about an individual’s credit card activities including transactions at point of sales, cash withdrawals, update on individual balances, activation alerts, card renewal alerts and notification when statements have been issued.
Khalfan Al Taley, DGM of retail banking at Bank Sohar, said: “This is the latest innovation by Bank Sohar to ensure that we keep our credit card customers fully informed and up to date about the status of their credit card activities – from recent purchases they have made through to details on statements or when they need to renew their card.”
