Mala'a is the official source for credit and financial information through credit reports and credit scores. The credit parameters make for crucial criterion that determines eligibility to obtain credit services such as loans, credit cards, etc. Oman Credit and Financial Information Centre is noted for its interest in preserving the confidentiality of information and protecting the privacy of customers.


Bassam al amali, General Manager of Mala'a, expressed the importance of receiving this award and what it indicates for the future of credit services in Oman: "Winning this award motivates us to further enhance our services and provide market driven solutions and products within the banking and financial sector in addition to supporting other beneficiary sectors. Current digital times require access to reliable and efficient data which Mala'a works hard to provide through further growing the information network. We also aspire to be positioned as the facilitating arm in the Digital Transformation process that the Sultanate of Oman is witnessing in every sector. " The current credit records in Mala'a system have reached one million credit records, and over a million credit reports have been used through our new system.
