Doha Bank has structured Al Dana Scheme 2011 with attractive new prizes for customers in honour of Qatar winning the bid to host the FIFA World Cup 2022.
Accordingly, there will be two mega prizes - QR2.022mn each, which will be decided by the second half of this year.
Al Dana will also distribute monthly prizes of QR20,220 each for 10 winners.
Doha Bank also said it was extending by a year the Al Dana Gold scheme.
A total of 20.22kg of gold will be distributed for Al Dana Gold customers throughout the year. This will be divided across a prize of 2,022g of gold every other month and a mega prize of 10.11kg of gold at the year end.
‘Young Savers’ who invest QR500 will be rewarded with the chance to win laptops, video games and more.
Doha Bank Group CEO R Seetharaman said: "Doha Bank indeed is the leader, the one to initiate exclusive offerings mainly alternative investment options for its loyal and yet financially established customers. Once more, Al Dana savings scheme proves to be the best, absolutely the best in delivering the promise. This year, the probability of winning has increased, with the draws occurring more frequently than before and awards directed at Qatar.”  
Al Dana scheme is superior to its competitors because of its attractive prizes and more winning chances because of the catchment area, which is Qatar. 
Seetharaman said: "Al Dana scheme has become a household name in Qatar, and for this reason we invite each one of you to take part in it. Don’t be a spectator this year, come, join and engage yourself in the most stimulating scheme with draws happening each month and generous prizes up-to-the-minute.”
Louis Scotto, Doha Bank head (Retail Banking) said: "Al Dana scheme, which was launched in 2004, is scaling great heights with exceptional incentives and this year won’t be an exception.
"Saving is the best habit. We have had a major increase in Al Dana customers year after year, which inspires us to keep on creating more and more rewards and exceptional prizes. Let’s celebrate 2022 with Al Dana 2011 and gain the chances of winning by visiting any Doha Bank branch or calling Hello Doha on 44456000.”
Khalid Jassim Abuabbas, Doha Bank executive manager (Retail Banking) said: "It even makes more sense for everybody to participate in this year’s scheme and benefit from the best cash and gold prizes ever. This is especially because of the fact that Al Dana is considered the best investment and financially rewarding tool with the declining interest rates on fixed deposits in the market. Customers would be able to generate the highest returns on their money.
Al Dana scheme for 2011 provides QR10mn with greater number of prizes.
