Doha Bank announced yesterday that customers can now open an account and receive their debit cards instantly using the bank’s new innovative service, tablet banking.
Doha Bank Group CEO Dr R Seetharaman said, “Doha Bank is committed to offer the latest in digital banking to deliver the greatest banking experience to customers. We want to continue to be the bank of choice for customers driven by smart solutions.
“Our legacy in introducing state-of-the-art banking solutions has a new highlight today with the introduction of the instantaneous welcome kit with the fastest account opening in Qatar.”
Seetharaman described the new service as “another innovation in the banking industry that aims to enhance customers’ experience with a digitised account opening solution”.
He said the new account opening was engineered “with a contemporary twist” and will attend to the customers’ banking needs from March onwards, whereby customers can open an account and receives their debit card instantly at a Doha Bank branch.
“This service is in line with ongoing digital transformation ventures at Doha Bank, which cater to tech-savvy consumers and their need for a drastically reduced time for banking,” Dr Seetharaman noted.
He added that the newly-streamlined account opening process was designed with minimal input requirements and its technology platform has been reinforced with “profound security measures” to protect the customer’s personal information and identity.
Doha Bank head of retail banking Suresh Bajpai said, “Within the entire digitisation strategy, we have unified the account opening experience and plan to extend it to our cross-border network, making it a regional experience.
“The new solution with seamless integrations and inbuilt processes are not only designed to eliminate human errors, but also enabled with 4G connectivity to make your next-generation banking effortless.”
The new Doha Bank account also comes with a suite of digital services to keep customers connected with their money and information. With the instant account opening and debit card delivery, customers can immediately perform self-registration for Doha Bank’s online banking.
This introduces additional convenience of accessibility to customer’s accounts, money and being able to manage finances and personal payments directly, anywhere, anytime. Online banking is also the gateway to other smart financial service solutions.
For example, the Doha Bank Mobile Banking application provides accessibility from any Blackberry, iPhone or Android phone and even WAP (Wireless Application Protocol).
Once customers receive their debit card when at the account-opening stage, they can then access one of the widest networks of ATMs in Qatar. Many of Doha Bank’s cash machines also provide supplementary services such as a selection of bill payment facilities and the deposit of cash and/or cheque deposits, which are automatically credited to the customer’s account.
