Amazon Payment Services, a regional leader in digital payments operating across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, has now expanded its services to Oman.
Amazon Payment Services’ merchants can now accept online payments from all locally-issued debit cards with OmanNet to expand their reach and attract customers in the Sultanate, while continuing to be able to accept payments from other major globally-issued cards.
OmanNet is a safe, convenient, and reliable payment solution allowing shoppers in the country to conveniently pay with their debit card. OmanNet debit cards comprise 95 percent of all cards in the Sultanate, and with this launch, OmanNet cardholders are now able to shop on thousands of merchant websites enabled for digital payments by Amazon Payment Services.
The launch reinforces Amazon Payment Services’ commitment to strategic forward-thinking to help merchants prepare for the future.

“At Amazon Payment Services, we strive to facilitate seamless and secure payments across the region. The addition of OmanNet to our portfolio is an important step toward achieving this vision, enabling our merchants to accept payments through a prominent card-based payment gateway in Oman. With this launch, we are supporting our existing merchants to drive better conversion in the Sultanate, while enabling more Omani merchants to utilize our range of innovative payment products to accept online payments and grow their businesses.”
Amazon Payment Services enables payments on Amazon stores in the MENA region including Amazon.ae, Amazon.sa, and Amazon.eg, in addition to supporting thousands of other merchants and businesses across the region.
Through this launch, Merchants will also enable the OmanNet payment option on the Payment Link invoicing product offered by Amazon Payment Services which allows merchants to collect payments from anywhere online by generating a link that can be easily sent to customers via email or SMS, as per the statement.
The company’s services are available for businesses in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain.
