Masareef مصاريفLog your Oman Arab Bank spending automatically
Masareef reads the payment alert the Oman Arab Bank app sends to your phone and logs every transaction in its own Oman Arab Bank wallet, with its amount, merchant and time. No typing.
What gets logged from Oman Arab Bank
- Card payments in shops and online, in rials or any currency you paid in.
- Outgoing and incoming transfers, and ATM withdrawals.
- Every transaction lands in its own category, and one tap changes it.
- More than one card? Add each card's last 4 digits and every alert goes to that card's wallet.
An alert the app can't read clearly isn't lost: it waits for you to confirm it with one tap.
How to log Oman Arab Bank spending automatically
- Install Masareef from Google Play or the App Store, and create a free account to back up your records.
- On Android: open Masareef and allow "Notification access" once. After that it captures alerts even with the app closed.
- On iPhone: from iOS 27 add the ready-made automation in Shortcuts; from iOS 16.4 to 26 set up one automation for Oman Arab Bank texts (sender OAB) once.
- Make sure alerts from the Oman Arab Bank app are switched on on your phone: Masareef reads the alert you already receive and never contacts the bank.
- On the first transaction Oman Arab Bank sends an alert, and Masareef logs it with its amount, merchant and time.
- Wrong category? Open the transaction and change it, and turn on "Remember this merchant" so this merchant goes there from now on. An unclear alert waits in "To review" for one tap to confirm.
How it works with Oman Arab Bank
On Android
Let Masareef read notifications once. From then on every payment alert from the Oman Arab Bank app is logged on its own, even with the app closed.
On iPhone and iPad
On iOS 27 or later you add one ready-made automation in the Shortcuts app, and Masareef receives alerts from the OAB Online Corporate app, Oman Arab Bank text messages and Apple Pay alerts.
From iOS 16.4 to 26, SMS from Oman Arab Bank reach Masareef through an automation you set up once, and from iOS 17 a second one adds Apple Pay. The bank app's own alerts can't be read before iOS 27, so share the message with Masareef or paste it.
