Bank Muscat is Oman's largest bank by far. Pull client wires out of your BankMuscat PDF and keep your Meethaq Islamic finance entries cleanly separated from operating spend.
Convert your Bank Muscat statementBank Muscat was founded in 1982 and dominates Oman's banking sector — 164 branches, more than 3 million customers, and a leading share in home finance and SME credit. The Meethaq Islamic banking window operates alongside the conventional bank, which means a single customer can hold both account types and see them interleaved on the same statement.
Oman has no personal income tax, but freelancers still need a clean income record for visa renewals, 5% VAT reconciliation (post-April 2021) if their business is registered, and any cross-border filing in a client's jurisdiction. The converted CSV lets you isolate client revenue from operating spend in minutes — and keeps OMR's 3-decimal precision intact.
Bank Muscat issues a well-structured tabular A4 PDF that is English-dominant with Arabic as the secondary column. Columns run: transaction reference, date, description, OMR debit, OMR credit, OMR balance — all to three decimal places per Central Bank of Oman standards. Account summary at the top of each statement: opening balance, total transactions, closing balance.
International client payments land as 'SWIFT TRF' inbound entries with the sender's BIC in the narration. OmanNet POS purchases show as 'OmanNet POS' with the merchant name. ATM withdrawals show as 'ATM WDL'. Direct-debit payments appear as 'DD PAYMENT'. Meethaq Islamic window transactions are labelled 'Meethaq Finance' — financing-cost-equivalent payments, not operating expense.
Keep client wires separate from Meethaq Islamic finance entries. Preserve 3-decimal OMR precision and tag SWIFT BICs on every inbound international wire.

Sort by Category. Keep International Wire and Inbound Transfer. Drop everything tagged Meethaq Finance — that is financing, not freelance income.

Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance, Category, Currency drop straight into Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or Xero. OMR figures retain three decimals through the import.
Common challenges
Does Kashfbank preserve the 3-decimal OMR precision?
Yes. 1.250 stays 1.250. Bank Muscat issues all OMR figures with three decimals per Central Bank of Oman standards, and Kashfbank preserves every baisa for accurate reconciliation against invoices.
I hold both a conventional Bank Muscat account and a Meethaq Islamic account. Can Kashfbank tell them apart?
Yes. Meethaq Islamic window transactions carry the 'Meethaq Finance' label in the narration. Kashfbank tags them in their own category — Islamic Financing — separate from conventional account operating entries. If both account types appear on the same statement, the export keeps the classification consistent per row.
The Bank Muscat statement is mostly in English. Does that change how Arabic columns are extracted?
No. Kashfbank reads both the English-dominant primary text and the Arabic secondary column. The Arabic narration is preserved alongside the English where present in the PDF. If your client or accountant prefers one language for the export, you can hide the other column in Excel after extraction.
I receive USD payouts that arrive as OMR in my Bank Muscat account. Which amount goes in my records?
Both. The original USD figure from the SWIFT description is preserved alongside the OMR credit that landed in your balance. Reconcile against your USD invoices using whichever side your client expects. OMR is pegged to USD at 0.3845, but actual SWIFT conversions include the bank's spread.
