An Exciting New Way for Paying

Information Technology Authority had launched Payment Gateway. This had opened new doors for Government Entities, Banking Industry, Private Sector, Entrepreneurs who are thinking of starting business and expatriates and citizens in the country. Payment Gateway will boost businesses, guarantee an open market, promote innovation and contribute to overall economic growth. It is An Exciting new way for paying. We are going Toward Digital World. A new way towards benefiting from Internet World.

Before launching the Payment Gateway Information Technology Authority had made sure that there is a law which they called it E-Transactions Law which organize the online transactions. This is a good thing as it will organize the online transactions and people will be more confident because they know there is a law which protect their transactions. This will help citizens and expatriates pay online with confidentiality. The E-Transactions Law will let people trust, confident and do their transactions and they know there is a law which will protect them. I had like the strategy of issuing E-Transaction Law before the Payment Gateway. This will contribute to the Digital Oman and everyone will feel they are protected.

I had liked the payment gateway solution. Government entities will be able to provide their services in a convenient way. Also, in a new way. In addition, this will let the Ministries go into the E-Government Road more then one step ahead. I want to see Sultanate of Oman ahead in the E-Government. Using the Internet in the Government Sector citizens and expatriates will make happy. This also will introduce the administration work.

Banking Industry will benefit from the Payment Gateway as well. I feel this will promote the credit card usage in the country. The number of Credit Card will increase especially if people feel they can finish their E-Government Transactions and local shopping online. For the telecommunication Industry it will encourage people to use the Internet more and this will let them make more revenue.

Entrepreneurs can benefit a lot from the payment gateway. Payment Gateway can save the cost of starting a business. They can develop a web site which is something like E-Commerce Solution. Customers can view the products online. After viewing the products they can buy online. This will let the entrepreneurs get customers inside the country and outside the country.

People from home can finish their transactions. Oman Mobile & Nawras customers now they can pay their bills online. This will help people to be bills online from home. This will help businesses to gain money in a new way. People will be able to pay their bills online. People will be able to shop in a new way. The solution Will help the government sector to provide their services online. Not only that, citizens in the country will have additional methodology to finish their financial transaction. For the customer side he will be happy as he will have a new way to buy, pay for bills and order online. Busy people with busy schedule will benefit from the payment gateway as they will be able to pay their bills online.

I feel awareness and promoting the payment gateway is important thing to let the growth of usage in the country. It is not about only selling and busying inside the country.

Challenges that different segments will face are different. Start-ups will most consider about the cost of using the service and the commission they should pay to Information Technology Authority. I would suggest that ITA should provide a special offers to Omani Youth Citizens. Government Sector will face a challenge that it should change it process and let it comfortable to pay online and let people finish online. Private sector should promise people that they will deliver their services and products after people buy online. Banking Industry should let the process of obtaining the Credit Card Simpler and easier.

We are founders of Digital Touch. We have experience in E-Commerce & E-Government Solutions and we are happy that Information Technology Authority had opened for us a new door to develop more Advanced E-Commerce and E-Government Solutions. We can help companies benefit from Payment Gateway.

I am happy to see Online Payment available in Oman for the government & private sector. This will let us go ahead in the Digital World. In addition, It will let private companies to enter the E-Commerce World. Payment Gateway will have great impact in our Economy.
