23/10/2016, Doha, Qatar
Doha, Qatar 22 October, 2016: Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar’s leading Islamic Bank, has launched a new proposition specifically designed to cater to the financial needs of ladies in appreciation for their role in the Qatari society and as part of the nation’s vision to empower and support all citizens in the country.
The proposition is QIB’s response to the increasingly active social and professional lives that women lead in Qatar. According to a new labor force survey published by the Ministry of Development, Planning and Statistics in 2016, 586,030 women are living in Qatar out of which around 253,000 are economically active. With this in mind, QIB’s new ladies banking proposition, aims to meet the wide-range of financial needs that each modern day woman has. Whether a client is a mother, a business-woman or a fresh graduate, a variety of packages are specifically designed to suit her exact needs.
QIB has 12 dedicated Ladies Banking Centers, strategically located in different places around Qatar, which are open from 7:30 am to 1:00 pm. The centers ensure privacy and convenience and clients are served exclusively by female staff. A dedicated call center, served by female call center agents is also providing its services from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Ladies clients can reach them on +974 44020044.
Ladies at QIB can now enjoy competitive profit rates on their fixed deposits. They can also achieve their financial goals through obtaining quick and hassle-free finance at preferential profit rates.
QIB has also taken into consideration worries that plague women, these including children’s education and personal health concerns. The Bank’s Walady Education Plan is a Shari’a Compliant child education plan that offers financial security for the child’s education through a long-term savings and investment plan coupled with Takaful protection for the parent. On the other hand as part of the new Ladies Banking proposition introduction, the Bank is offering free Takaful coverage for 1-year, covering general and female related risks . Additionally, ladies can also apply for the Family Shield, a family Takaful policy that provides relief in times of distress. Moreover, all women in Qatar can now enjoy motor takaful with preferential rate.
QIB has also recently launched a set of new revolving cards offering customers the option to pay back a minimum of 5% of their monthly purchases. Ladies will be able to own these cards free of charge for the first year and enjoy exclusive discounts and promotions at various premium brands in Qatar such as, 51 East, Channel, Al Jaber Jewelry and Watches, AlFardan Jewelry, Movenpick Hotel, Westin Hotel Grand Wyndham Regency, Souq Waqif Boutique Hotels, The Ritz Carlton and other popular shops and destinations in Qatar.
For ladies customers who are Tamayuz members, the Bank’s affluent banking solution, will also be served exclusively by female Relationship managers who will use their extensive financial knowledge to help define their long-term goals, risk tolerance and investment horizons.
“QIB has established itself as one of the leading Banks in Qatar by following a customer centric approach in everything we do. We are committed to constantly evolve our banking services in order to reflect the financial interests of the people in Qatar,” said D. Anand, General Manager – QIB’s Personal Banking Group. “Women are an important part of the society and valued QIB customers.
