“Aman Online Banking provided by Aman Bank is one of the latest banking services I have seen today, as I had previously a current account, then when the bank began accepting foreign exchange purchases in US dollars. I never needed to go to the bank to apply, but I opened FCY account then I transferred money from my account to the account of my son outside Libya. I always used the Online Banking to get the details of the transfer, of my account’s balance, etc.
My experience was positive and I'll be happy to refer others to your bank. Thank you.”

“Despite the multitude of alternative banking services for Cash and "shopping" from shops, markets and companies, my experience with the Aman PAY QR shopping and purchasing application was, in my view, the best, fastest and most secure. Starting from the ease and smooth use while ensuring protection unlike the use of traditional banking services, such as cards and others, so that it may fall the risk of post-use such as power outages or coverage during the purchase process, as well as copying the card's PIN and serial number then use them later.”
