MUSCAT, MUSCAT, OMAN, June 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Held under the theme “Beyond Transactions, Toward Trust: How more human financial services can better serve everyday life in Oman,” the session focused on a question becoming increasingly important across markets: what makes people trust technology enough to rely on it with their money, their health, and the rhythms of their daily lives?
The discussion brought together Tawfiq Mohsin Al Lawati, CEO of Friendi Pay Oman; Stephane Berton, Managing Director of Talabat Oman; Aziz Dhiyab, CEO of HAL; and Azza Al Riyami, Country Manager of Network International Oman. The session was moderated by Naser Al Kharouf, Regional Chief Sales Officer MEA at Beyond ONE.
Throughout the discussion, speakers explored how trust in technology is built not only through innovation, but through relevance, simplicity, consistency, and a clear understanding of people’s everyday realities. Topics ranged from digital payments and customer confidence to startup innovation, local technology capability, and the role of ecosystem partnerships in shaping services that are more practical, inclusive, and useful in daily life.
The panel also reflected on the momentum of Omani innovation and the growing need for digital payment solutions and locally relevant technology platforms, especially as startups and high-growth businesses contribute to the country’s digital economy. Speakers discussed the importance of moving beyond features alone and building solutions that people can understand, adopt, and trust.
By hosting the session at the Friendi Pay and Friendi Mobile Oman office, Beyond ONE aimed to create more than a panel discussion. The event reflected the company’s ambition to help build a space where Omani talent, founders, operators, business leaders, and creative minds can come together to exchange ideas, strengthen relationships, and turn conversations into action.
“What stood out in this discussion is that trust is not built by technology alone. It is built when technology feels relevant, simple, and genuinely useful in people’s everyday lives. At Beyond ONE, we want to help create more spaces in Oman where leaders, founders, and partners can come together to shape that future in a practical way,” said Tawfiq Mohsin Al Lawati, CEO of Friendi Pay Oman.
Terrace Talks Oman forms part of Beyond ONE’s wider effort to convene meaningful conversations around the future of digital life in the markets it serves. In Oman, that means helping connect the people and ideas shaping what comes next across technology, finance, commerce, and customer experience.
As digital transformation continues across the Sultanate, the event underscored a simple but powerful idea: the future will belong not only to those who build technology, but to those who make it more human, more trusted, and more relevant to everyday life.
