Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) was honoured as “Qatar’s Best Bank” at the 2019 edition of the Euromoney Awards for Excellence.
QIB Group CEO Bassel Gamal received the award during the 2019 Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence ceremony held recently at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
QIB was recognised for its outstanding financial performance in 2018, delivering a record year-end net profit of QR2.75bn, the strength of its customer service, and its thoughtfully-curated portfolio of products and services.

Additionally, the bank was lauded for its commitment to the digitisation of banking services within Qatar and the wider region, having introduced several first-to-market digital banking solutions which offer customers an improved, technology enabled, simplified banking experience.
“We are honoured to receive one of the most prestigious titles at this year’s Euromoney awards,” said Gamal.
“During 2018, the bank achieved a record financial performance and delivered significant milestones of first-to-market innovation within Qatar, the region, and globally. Our genuine customer-centric approach has enabled us to become a leading bank supporting the modernisation and economic growth of the country with our strategy being closely tied with Qatar’s National Vision 2030”.
Launched in 1992, the Euromoney Awards for Excellence were the first of their kind in the financial publishing industry. These remain one of the most prestigious and respected awards in global banking for more than twenty-five years.
“This award is a testament to QIB’s success in strengthening its leadership and its vital role in the banking sector in Qatar,” Gamal said, and added, “On this occasion, I would like to thank the Board of Directors for their continuous support and each one of our team members for their exceptional performance and dedication. Big appreciation goes also to our customers for their continued loyalty, trust and suggestions that enabled us to serve them better.”
QIB conducts its domestic business through a modern branch network spread throughout Qatar with key branches featuring distinctive centres with specialised relationship managers focused on servicing specific customer segments — Private Banking Centers, Affluent Banking Centres, as well as Ladies Banking Centers.
In addition to its branch network, the bank has accelerated its investments in digital channels providing its services through an award winning ‘QIB Mobile App’, Internet banking applications for individuals and companies, multi-functional ATMs, Interactive Teller Machine (ITM) and a Call Center.
QIB has taken strides in facilitating and accommodating customers’ digital needs. Most recently, the bank has launched a new digital onboarding process allowing prospective customers to start a relationship with the bank by opening a savings or ‘Misk’ account through the QIB Mobile App.
Additionally, the bank also launched earlier this year the Instant Finance — the fastest and simplest way to obtain personal financing in Qatar, which allows salaried Qatari customers to get pre-approved finance through QIB’s Mobile App within minutes.
