Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) has announced the official launch of the QIB Junior App, the country’s first digital banking and financial education platform for kids and teens aged eight to 17. Developed with a mobile and tablet-first mindset, QIB Junior introduces young users to smart money management securely and intuitively. The solution brings together a prepaid Visa card which can be used for online payments, to tap and pay at physical stores, and can be added to digital wallets like Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or Samsung Wallet.The QIB Junior App provides a dedicated "savings pot” which allows juniors to move money between the card and the savings pot, encouraging the habit of saving. The app offers a suite of engaging features, allowing juniors to earn rewards every time they complete tasks set by parents as well as to enjoy exclusive deals and discounts tailored to their age group. In addition, QIB will be offering a special gift voucher to the early adopters who are on board with the Junior App.Through the main QIB Mobile App, parents can seamlessly sign up their children for the QIB Junior App and issue a prepaid card. With full control through the QIB Mobile App, parents can set allowances, load the card, assign tasks, monitor spending, manage access, activate or deactivate the Junior App and the prepaid card and locate the child’s device.The solution is designed to grow with its users, automatically transitioning to QIB’s Bedaya student account at age 18. D Anand, QIB general manager – Personal Banking Group, said: "The launch of QIB Junior is a major milestone, reflecting QIB’s leadership in digital innovation and future-ready banking.” QIB Junior is now available for existing QIB customers.
