“Not long ago, the QIIB was honored with the 2024 Excellence Award for Corporate Payment Solutions from Visa, in recognition of its leadership in corporate payment services. QIIB became the first bank in Qatar to offer a debit card specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing advanced, convenient payment solutions with unique benefits that deliver added value to our customers. Additionally, QIIB launched its own digital platform for issuing letters of credit, enabling clients to complete the process without the need to visit the bank. This service positioned QIIB as the first bank in Qatar to introduce such a solution,” added Mr. Al-Meer.
Chief of Corporate Sector attributed QIIB’s success to its long-term strategy across various sectors, including corporate banking, where it has invested in innovation, technology infrastructure, and partnered with top-tier experts to implement the best global banking standards. These efforts have reinforced QIIB’s market position.
Mr. Al-Meer also expressed gratitude to the World Union of Arab Bankers for awarding QIIB the Excellence in Corporate Banking Services award and for the objective criteria they applied in recognizing QIIB’s achievements, emphasizing that QIIB will remain committed to maintaining its leadership and elevating its various performance indicators.
