Oman's RTGS processes OMR settlements and the rial's USD peg provides exchange stability. Bank Muscat — the Gulf's largest bank by assets outside the UAE — National Bank of Oman (NBO), and HSBC Oman are the primary SWIFT correspondents. Muscat processes trade finance for LNG and crude oil exports, port payments from Salalah (one of the Arabian Peninsula's busiest transshipment hubs), and labour remittances from the large South Asian expatriate workforce.
