Dukhan Bank has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Teyseer Group on the sidelines of Web Summit Qatar, establishing a structured framework to explore potential areas of collaboration aimed at supporting startups, SMEs, and employee segments through integrated banking, technology, and financing solutions, subject to regulatory approvals and internal governance requirements.
Under the MoU, the parties will explore joint onboarding propositions for startups and SMEs, including bundled offerings that combine Dukhan Bank’s startup and SME banking solutions with technology products and services provided by Teyseer Group entities, including Computer Arabia. These initiatives may include curated ‘Startup Packs’ featuring essential hardware, software, point-of-sale systems, and IT infrastructure for newly established businesses.
The collaboration will also assess tailored product bundles for Teyseer Group employees, integrating Dukhan Bank’s banking solutions, such as accounts, cards, and payment services, with value-added offerings, subject to eligibility criteria and applicable regulations.
In addition, Dukhan Bank and Teyseer Group will explore Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) and embedded financing propositions for SME and retail customers, including point-of-sale financing models to support SME capital expenditure requirements in a Shariah-compliant manner.
The MoU further provides for joint marketing and lead generation initiatives, including cross-referrals of qualified startup and SME leads, alongside collaborative campaigns, events, and digital activations aimed at driving awareness and customer acquisition.
The MoU reflects the shared intent of Dukhan Bank and Teyseer Group to explore potential areas of cooperation in a structured and non-committal manner, with any future engagements subject to further evaluation and formal agreement.
