He noted, “In addition to the ease of use, this service is highly secure as it conforms to the International Security Standards relating to payment processing, which we consider as a top priority”.
Al-Meer said, "This year, QIIB was awarded the highest certificate in the protection of Banking Cards Data (PCI-DSS), for the fourth consecutive year. This certificate is awarded to institutions that achieve the best security standards. Thus, launching the contactless service is the natural progression of QIIB to offer the best in class payment services to our customers”.
Furthermore, he stated, “All QIIB cards to be issued or renewed moving forward will be contactless enabled.”
"The introduction of the new service to QIIB cards is a catalyst in delivering the bank’s vision to provide innovative products and services to its valued customers,” al-Meer added.
QIIB was established in 1990 as the second Islamic bank in Qatar. The banks offers integrated banking services to its customers through a wide network of branches across Qatar.
