In a statement issued online this afternoon [Monday, June 15], the MTC confirmed that all ePayment services through the portal are now working, and the public can now once again make donations online through the Donations Portal for Charitable Organizations.

The statement also said that the use of debit card ePayments through the platform’s Esnad Portal for Electronic Tendering Services is also now fully-operational.

The OmanNet gateway had previously been out of service since Friday, June 5 after the Central Bank of Oman ordered its temporary suspension after a security breach was flagged.
