Each bank has its uses.
BankMuscat is best for online utilities payments, HSBC for non local currency accounts and international transfers. The others are 70s style basic cash/cheque/book accounts.
All are utterly shite for customer service, and excellent at ability to utterly screw up the simplest of tasks.

I use the NBO (Airport branch) - been with them for 6 years no real complaints. TBH I find the staff in their relatively useful and there isn't the typical Omani 'cant be arsed' attitude.
