BankDhofar Mastercard World brings together payment convenience, travel and lifestyle privileges

BankDhofar is enhancing the everyday payment experience of its customers through its World Mastercard, combining convenient and secure transactions with a suite of value-added travel, lifestyle and reward benefits designed for today’s increasingly mobile customer.

Part of BankDhofar’s expanding portfolio of Mastercard-powered payment solutions, the World Mastercard enables customers to seamlessly manage everyday purchases at home while enjoying the convenience of international acceptance when travelling abroad. Contactless payment functionality further simplifies transactions, while secure online shopping features and real-time transaction alerts provide added reassurance and control.

The offering builds on BankDhofar’s strategic collaboration with Mastercard, announced in 2025 to strengthen the bank’s payments proposition and introduce innovative card solutions aligned with customers’ evolving digital lifestyles. The collaboration leverages Mastercard’s global payments network, technology and international reach to provide customers with greater convenience, security and access to value-added services.

Going beyond its core role as a payment instrument, BankDhofar’s World Mastercard is designed to reward customers for their spending. Eligible cardholders receive 1.5% reward value back on qualifying international purchases and 1% on qualifying purchases within Oman, enabling customers to derive additional value from routine and travel-related expenditure.

Travel benefits are a key feature of the proposition. World Mastercard cardholders can enjoy up to 12 complimentary visits to more than 1,200 airport lounges worldwide through Mastercard Travel Pass, subject to applicable qualifying requirements. Customers can also benefit from selected travel offers, including discounts on eligible international flight bookings and complimentary roaming data through Flexiroam.

The card further opens access to Mastercard’s Priceless Cities platform, offering curated experiences across destinations worldwide, while an array of dining, shopping, entertainment, fitness and lifestyle privileges adds value beyond travel.

Among the benefits currently available are selected offers covering Free Chauffeur Service from and to Muscat International Airport, food delivery and groceries, cinema experiences and international shopping, as well as complimentary self-service valet parking for up to five hours at Mall of Oman and Al Mouj Muscat, subject to applicable terms and conditions.

Designed for eligible customers with a minimum monthly salary of RO 2,000, the World Mastercard forms part of BankDhofar’s broader tiered card proposition, which enables customers to select payment solutions aligned with their spending patterns, lifestyles and financial requirements.

For customers seeking an even higher level of premium benefits, BankDhofar also offers the World Elite Mastercard, featuring enhanced travel privileges such as unlimited airport lounge access for the cardholder and one guest, selected airport fast-track services, travel insurance benefits and complimentary airport transfers in Muscat, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

BankDhofar’s collaboration with Mastercard also taps into the global appeal of football icon Lionel Messi, a Mastercard brand ambassador since 2018. In 2026, the bank became the first in Oman to introduce the Najm Platinum Mastercard credit card featuring Messi’s image, creating a distinctive proposition that connects everyday payments with customers’ passion for football. The limited-edition card combines rewards and lifestyle privileges with opportunities linked to Messi, including a promotion offering eligible cardholders the chance to win exclusive Messi fan boxes featuring an officially signed jersey.

Through its expanding collaboration with Mastercard, BankDhofar continues to transform the card from a conventional payment tool into a gateway to a wider ecosystem of convenience, rewards and experiences.

By combining secure everyday payments with international usability and meaningful travel and lifestyle benefits, BankDhofar is delivering card solutions that complement the increasingly digital, connected and mobile lifestyles of its customers in Oman and beyond.
