International Bank of Qatar (ibq) has opened its corporate branch on the Airport Road. Through this new initiative IBQ will cater to all corporate clients’ needs, by providing a full range of tailored corporate banking solutions in one convenient location, the bank said in a statement.This initiative is in line with IBQ’s commitment to provide the highest level of service to its clients across all segments, and particularly IBQ corporate clients, it said.The Airport Road branch is fully equipped and specialised to providing the broadest suite of corporate banking solutions specifically tailored to the needs of IBQ’s corporate clients including loans, trade finance, treasury, and cash management.   Explaining the rationale behind this initiative,Managing Director of IBQ Jabra Ghandour said: “At IBQ, we continuously work to enhance our service quality and provide a unique, smooth and fully integrated client experience. Our corporate clients will now be able to further benefit from a full range of services at a single location that is fully dedicated to meet all their needs.” The decision to dedicate a branch exclusively for corporate clients is a natural consequence of IBQ’s relentless commitment towards customer service, as demonstrated by the recent extension of its working hours for consumer clients at its main branch. This branch is now open from 7:30am until 1pm and from 5:30pm until 7:30pm between Sunday and Wednesday, and between 7:30am and 1pm on Thursdays. Commenting on the initiative, Head of Retail Banking at IBQ Andrew Ball, said: “The move is part of a carefully planned initiative aimed at offering both our retail and corporate clients the highest level and efficiency of service. We are confident that our customers will realise its benefits and take full advantage of it.”Both of these recent enhancements to IBQ’s distribution are part of a broader and strategic plan to extend its network across Qatar.
