Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) has announced that its newly-opened The Gate Mall branch in West Bay will be available to customers in the morning and evening, all week during the holy month of Ramadan.
“The new branch is strategically positioned at The Gate Mall in the prestigious West Bay area, and offers extended opening hours in the morning and evening, every day of the week,” said D Anand, general manager of QIB’s Personal Banking Group.
He said the branch will be open from Saturday to Thursday in two shifts, 10.30am to 2.30pm, and then from 9pm to 11.30pm. On Fridays, the branch will be open from 9pm to 11.30pm.
Automatic teller and cash deposit machines are available to provide customers with 24/7 access to their accounts and allow them to deposit cash, he added.
According to Anand, The Gate Mall branch offers customers a diverse range of premium QIB products and services, including a private banking centre for high net worth customers and a dedicated Tamayuz Centre for the affluent customers, bringing the bank’s total number of Tamayuz Centres to nine.
“With both Tamayuz and private banking facilities, the new branch offers our existing customers convenient access to QIB’s wide range of services,” Anand said.
Branch customers can open bank accounts, apply for debit and credit cards, a suite of financing products, and receive expert advice about investment and takaful services and other Islamic banking services.
Anand said the opening of The Gate Mall branch forms part of the QIB’s expansion strategy, which was designed to ensure that the bank is “prominently positioned” at the heart of the country’s most thriving communities, in order to be closer to QIB customers.
“QIB has opened a new branch at The Gate Mall, one of Doha’s most prestigious malls in the West Bay area. West Bay is the location of key governmental institutions, hotels, residential buildings, and shopping and entertainment centres,” Anand said.
He explained that the “new-look” branch has a direct entrance from the street and another entrance from Salam Stores. It brings QIB’s country-wide network to 31 local branches and underscores the bank’s commitment to being a “customer-centric Islamic bank.”
“The bank’s physical expansion complements its ongoing investment into electronic channels such as an innovative Internet banking system, mobile banking applications, SMS banking, and a 24/7 customer service centre,” Anand said.
