Doha, 5 May 2021 - QNB Group, the largest financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, recently received the award for “The Most Promising Commercial Cards Program in MEA” from Mastercard, in recognition of the Bank’s highly competitive set of Commercial Payment propositions.
QNB’s cutting-edge payment solutions come with a range of benefits and privileges, specially curated to meet the ever-changing demands of the commercial customers. The commercial cards program has been designed to allow corporates and SMEs to better manage their expenses, payables, and overall cashflow. The cards are adaptable and can be used in combination with corporate reporting and expense management solutions. They have also driven greater visibility and efficiency into corporate purchasing decisions and general expenditures.
Furthermore, QNB’s commercial card solutions are enabled to have merchant level transaction control, giving companies greater peace of mind with their day-to-day activities. Other benefits include the Corporate Liability Waiver, which protects commercial customers against any potential misuse of cards. However, the most notable feature of the solution is the rich and detailed information, which corporate clients can access and gain through QNB’s Mastercard Smart Data platform. These world-class payment solutions come with great flexibility and easy usage.
