Barwa Bank has won the “Best Web/Mobile Site,” “Best Premium Islamic Card,” and “Best Credit Card” awards during the recently held Banker Middle East Product Awards 2014.
Barwa Bank acting CEO Khalid al-Subaei received the awards from CPI Financial on January 18 at the bank’s headquarters.
“We are delighted to be recognised by Banker Product Awards for the Middle East 2014, which has a long-established reputation for quality and excellence. Barwa Bank has also been able to merge Shariah-compliant services with the requirements of modernity and this has positioned it as a leading brand in the Islamic banking sector in Qatar and the region. These awards pay tribute to the hard work of the entire team,” Barwa Bank said in a statement.
This is the seventh awards ceremony held by CPI Financial, publishers of Banker Middle East, to recognise banking products and services that are either “exceptionally innovative” or have generated “excellent financial results and growth” in market share. The awards were based on a peer-vote process.
“We are always working tirelessly to provide well-tailored services and give our customers a new Shariah-compliant experience, one that provides innovative products and first-class services, while at the same time being aligned with our customers’ ethical beliefs. We are the only bank in Qatar offering an Islamic Premium credit card, a good example of how we are delivering on our vision. We have also recently intensified efforts in digital banking, updating our web services and mobile application to best suit customers’ needs,” the statement added.
Barwa Bank’s Platinum Visa is Qatar’s first Shariah-compliant credit card that offers Barwa Bank Loyalty Points that can be converted to Ooredoo’s Nojoom points, Qatar Airways’ Qmiles, discounts from select retailers, and other benefits. The fee-based credit card has been carefully-developed with Islamic financial expertise to ensure that the product complies with the guidelines of Shariah finance.
Meanwhile, Barwa Bank has also recently announced the launch of its new state-of-art mobile banking application, as part of its continuous efforts to improve customer experience and service.
The application is designed to provide customers with seamless connectivity anytime, anywhere, and gives them access to their accounts to check balances, view transactions, make credit card phone and utility bill payments, and transfer funds instantly at their convenience.
