With its comprehensive customer offering and focus on optimizing and digitizing its banking operations, QIB was named ‘MENA Retail Bank of the Year’, ‘Best Retail Bank in Qatar’, ‘Best App for Customer Experience in the MENA region’, and ‘Excellence in Mobile Banking in the MENA region’.

The App has seen the introduction of major functionalities, bringing many new banking services for the first time to Qatar.
Taking digital banking a step further, QIB implemented the latest technologies in its operations to ensure an end-to-end digital experience for its customers for all their financial needs allowing customers to perform all their banking transactions from anywhere in the world. Whether starting a new relationship with QIB, getting financing, or issuing a credit card, QIB’s digitalization program and the revamp of the Mobile App gives customers full control and more flexibility to perform their banking needs remotely in just a few minutes.
QIB is the first bank in Qatar to introduce a digital Instant Credit Card solution via its Mobile App, and the first in Qatar to launch Visa Direct for customers to transfer funds instantly to over 30 countries in the MENA Region, Europe, and Asia.
Moreover, QIB upgraded its banking experiences for new customers with the launch of the Digital Onboarding process, allowing prospective customers to start a relationship with the bank by opening their accounts in a fast, simple, and convenient way.
In addition, the Bank has introduced Zaki, which means smart in Arabic, the virtual assistant chatbot powered by artificial intelligence (AI) allowing conversations and help to be automated and machine learning (ML) algorithms driving constant service improvements and CX-focused personalization. The virtual assistant allows users to interact with the bank 24x7 in a much more efficient manner.
QIB’s digitalization drive spans to its branches also, with new multifunctional ATMs and interac-tive teller machines; improved call center operations that link across channels; and better inte-gration of offline and online customer journeys.
