This follows National Bank of Oman's recent commitment to becoming a Bank focused on leadership in the digital sphere and which provides the best possible workplace for every employee.

In future, all of the Bank's online training will be accessed through @cademy 24x7 as it becomes the all-new digital avatar of the Academy of Excellence. With an overall aim of making learning and development more accessible than ever for National Bank of Oman employees, the first training course to be uploaded onto the @cademy 24x7 portal is on anti-money laundering. The formal launch of @cademy 24x7 was conducted by Mr. Ahmed Al Musalmi, Chief Executive Officer of National Bank of Oman, in the presence of the senior management and a number of bank staff.

National Bank of Oman's @cademy 24x7 initiative is designed to help staff in divisions across the Bank access the extensive range of Academy of Excellence programmes and training courses at anytime and anywhere. The launch of @cademy 24x7 is further reinforcement of National Bank of Oman's commitment to achieving digital leadership in banking.
