QIIB has launched a 'special and first-of-its-kind edition' of its Visa credit cards to celebrate the 53rd Amir Cup this year, in collaboration with Visa and Qatar Football Association (QFA).
QIIB is the official sponsor of the Amir Cup for three consecutive years — under the agreement signed with the QFA, a statement said.
The special edition card offers all the benefits and features of QIIB’s credit cards, including complimentary access to premium airport lounges worldwide, exclusive discounts with esteemed partners in Qatar and Visa’s global partner network, as well as the ability to earn QIIB points that can be redeemed through a variety of options.
It also provides enhanced security features and global acceptance, ensuring a seamless and convenient user experience.
QIIB customers can apply for this exceptional card through the bank’s usual channels: the mobile banking app, online banking, or by visiting any of the bank’s branches.
QIIB CEO Dr Abdulbasit Ahmad al-Shaibei stated, “We are delighted to announce the launch of QIIB’s special edition Visa credit card in celebration of the 53rd edition of the Amir Cup, a tournament that holds a special place in our hearts. We are also honoured to be the official sponsor of the Amir Cup and celebrate this special occasion with a unique initiative — especially as the tournament stands as a proud symbol of excellence in sport and national unity.
“The launch of this special edition of our credit cards, across all categories, in partnership with Visa, reflects our commitment to engaging with national events through innovative banking solutions. We aim to celebrate major sporting occasions with initiatives that resonate with the community. Previously, we issued a special edition Visa card to mark the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 — an event that showcased our nation’s pride, excellence, and remarkable achievement on the global sporting stage.
“We consider this an exceptional occasion in many respects — banking and sports at its core, and deeply national in spirit. It also reflects our ongoing collaboration with the Qatar Football Association, serving as a culmination of the sponsorship agreement previously signed, under which QIIB became the official sponsor of the Amir Cup and Qatar’s national football teams for a three-year period.”
Al-Shaibei stated: “The Amir Cup is more than just a sporting event — it is a national occasion that embodies the spirit of competition and excellence, and a source of pride for us all. We are pleased to have built a strong connection between QIIB and major national events in our beloved country. We have always been committed to aligning with the interests of our community, guided by a spirit of responsibility and innovation”.
