Further, this launch is in line with QIB’s commitment to supporting the national vision and promoting financial inclusion.

Specifically designed for local transactions, the Himyan Debit Card is linked to the holder’s personal account at QIB and features widespread acceptance at ATMs and POS terminals via the national network “NAPS”, and online merchants via QPAY’s payment portal throughout Qatar, ensuring enhanced security, convenience, and hassle-free shopping experience.
