QNB Group, the largest financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, has become the first foreign bank to provide Visa payment solutions in Sudan.
In this regard, QNB received the licence from Visa, a global payment solution provider.
QNB’s customers in Sudan will soon be able to get access to fast, secure, and innovative digital payment products that are accepted both domestically and globally, including e-commerce transactions.
"We are committed to investing and growing the payments landscape in Sudan, which will contribute to the economic growth of the country," Heba al-Tamimi, general manager, QNB Group Retail, said.
Ahmed Gaber, Visa’s general manager for North Africa, said this is an important milestone in the regional partnership it already enjoys with QNB.
"We will work with QNB to enable their digital expansion and diversify their product offering in Sudan, and introduce Visa’s world-class payment technology in the country, which will create entirely new ways to pay and be paid, bringing the benefits of security, convenience and global acceptance to Sudanese consumers and local merchants," he said.
Strategically located in major cities in Sudan, the bank’s branches provide personal, corporate and Islamic banking services.
