Doha, Qatar — QNB digital banking capabilities have been recognized on the global stage after the bank secured two prestigious titles from Global Finance magazine. QNB won Best Mobile Banking App and Best in Social Media Marketing and Services in Qatar, reflecting its sustained leadership in digital innovation.
The awards underscore QNB’s strategy of placing digital transformation at the core of its operations. The bank has rolled out pioneering services, including 3D Secure eCommerce Transaction Verification, enabling customers to approve online payments directly via push notifications on QNB Mobile Banking, alongside the standard SMS verification method.
Customers have also benefitted from expanded fund transfer options. With Visa Direct, users can instantly send money to Visa debit, credit, or prepaid cards worldwide. Court payments, previously confined to traditional channels, can now be completed via QNB Mobile and Internet Banking, streamlining essential services for clients.
Through Digital Onboarding, new customers are able to open accounts, receive a virtual card, and start transacting within minutes without visiting a branch. Complementing this, QNB has introduced a Multi-Currency Travel Card, offering quick setup, multiple currency support, and competitive exchange rates for seamless international spending.
QNB has also been at the forefront of regional banking infrastructure, becoming the first institution in Qatar and the Middle East to launch ATMs equipped with bulk cash deposit functions. Its mobile app further enhances flexibility, enabling customers to adjust their credit card repayment percentages according to their needs.
These innovations highlight QNB’s dual focus on security and customer experience, while its award for social media marketing reflects its ability to connect with customers through creative and educational campaigns on digital channels.
Industry analysts say the recognition further strengthens QNB’s position as a digital banking leader, setting benchmarks in Qatar’s financial services landscape. The bank’s continued investment in secure and seamless platforms is expected to deepen customer trust and extend its competitive edge as digital adoption accelerates across the Gulf region.
