Lahunna Oman partners with Visa and Bank Muscat to launch ‘RIALY’

Muscat: With an increasing number of women in the workforce and in running their own small businesses, Lahunna Oman has joined hands with global digital payments leader, Visa, and Bank Muscat to launch ‘Rialy’. A series of knowledge-sharing sessions, coaching and online programmes will be delivered to 900 Omani girls and young women to build their confidence in making responsible financial decisions. Starting in November 2022, the initiative will shed light on the behaviour needed to lead financially sound lives – from planning, budgeting and saving, to spending and borrowing.

“Information is power and studies have consistently shown that financial education should be a continuous process from a young age, to unlock the full potential of the youth, so they can contribute to our community’s development and our country’s economic growth,” said Shatha Al Maskiry, Founder of Lahunna Oman. “Rialy is one of many initiatives that serves our vision to cultivate the right mindset for our dynamic and promising youth and instil financial confidence so they can have a positive impact on our society as a whole. We are confident that our partnership with Visa and Bank Muscat will support us in nurturing confident, driven, and successful women with stronger decision-making
