Home Financing Becomes Clearer
The Oman Housing Bank has launched a digital platform called "Book Your Turn" to facilitate and streamline the process of obtaining subsidized housing financing. The platform allows citizens to submit applications and track their progress electronically through personal accounts, reducing the need for repeated visits and increasing transparency. The registration process requires meeting specific criteria, such as being an Omani citizen, married, having a stable income, and not owning a residence in their name previously. After submitting an application, it is placed on a waiting list and closely monitored, with notifications issued when it’s their turn for review. Additionally, the platform provides a financing calculator to help beneficiaries assess their financial capability before applying. The digital transformation aims to enhance the user experience and cut down the waiting time for housing finance from years to less than six months, aligning with Oman Vision 2040’s goal of improving government services and quality of life. As of mid-2026, the total housing financing extended by the bank exceeded 2.47 billion Omani Rials, benefiting over 82,675 families, reflecting the bank’s commitment to facilitating homeownership for citizens and improving housing services across the Sultanate.
