Thawani Pay integration on ReservationHub

Thawani is an Omani fintech founded in 2016 that runs the Thawani Pay wallet app and an online payment gateway for merchants. In May 2020 the Central Bank of Oman granted it the country's first payment service provider licence issued to a non-bank company. Its gateway takes card payments with 3-D Secure 2.

About Thawani Pay

Thawani Technologies was set up in 2016 as an Omani start-up building cashless payments for Oman. In May 2020 the Central Bank of Oman (CBO) issued it a payment service provider licence, the first the CBO had granted to a non-bank fintech. Thawani now describes itself as Oman's first non-bank super app, combining a consumer wallet with services for businesses.

For merchants, Thawani offers an online payment gateway, payment links, a merchant portal and the Tajer app for taking payments on a phone. The gateway accepts card payments, including Visa, from customers in Oman and abroad, verifies cardholders with 3-D Secure 2 and supports recurring charges for subscriptions. Thawani states that the gateway is PCI DSS compliant.

Merchants can choose a hosted, mobile-friendly checkout page, mobile SDKs for iOS and Android, or a direct REST API, with webhooks reporting successful payments, failures and refunds. A sandbox is available for testing, and a dashboard tracks settlements, refunds and chargebacks. A business registers through the Thawani Pay Business Portal and completes verification before going live. It suits travel agencies in Oman that want an Omani-licensed gateway for flights, hotels and packages.
