Barwa Bank has announced the winner of its Summer Spend promotion. Fatima al-Hamad, a retail banking customer, has won a fully-paid trip to Paris for two as a result of shopping with her Gold credit card.
Hussain al-Abdullah, head of retail at Barwa Bank, said: “We congratulate Fatima and hope she enjoys her prize. The Summer Spend promotion is another example of our customer-oriented campaigns through which we continue to provide products and services to suit the needs of our customers as well as some great benefits.”
Barwa Bank’s Shariah-compliant credit cards were introduced in 2012; as the country’s first Shariah-compliant credit card, it enables customers to earn Barwa Bank Loyalty Points. Those points can then be converted into Qatar Airways Privilege Club Qmiles or shopping vouchers to be used at any of a range of participating partner outlets.
The credit card is available in a choice of Platinum and Gold. On becoming a Platinum member, customers receive a bonus of 5,000 Barwa Bank Loyalty Points that can be converted into Qmiles or shopping vouchers. Key features of the card include no joining or annual fee, two free supplementary cards and cash withdrawal up to 100% of the total assigned credit limit as well as free SMS alert service for all transactions. Customers can choose to pay either the full balance every month or a minimum payment as low as 3% of the total outstanding.
Barwa Bank was recently recognised with the Best Premium Islamic Card award for its Platinum credit card at the Banker Middle East Product Awards 2013.
