He said: “This national initiative, supervised by the Qatar Central Bank and supported by Doha Bank, aims to provide a safe and easy-to-use digital payment method, which enhances the shift towards non-cash payments by taking advantage of modern technologies. We are keen to provide the best offers and features to Himyan holders, and we are pleased to have Estithmar Holding and its distinguished projects join the list of providers of exclusive offers to our customers.”

Engineer Mohammed bin Badr al-Sada, CEO of Estithmar Holding, said: “This step comes in response to the national initiative supervised by the Central Bank and we have launched this programme, in cooperation with Doha Bank.

“We invite Himyan card customers to benefit from these exclusive offers in our world-class hotels and facilities, and we hope that through these offers we will contribute to supporting the card, which is a remarkable step towards digitising payment systems in Qatar.”

The Himyan debit card is a national payment card issued under the supervision of Qatar Central Bank and is available upon request to all Doha Bank customers. Customers can use the Himyan Card locally for financial transactions carried out at Point of Sale (POS) devices, ATMs, and e-shopping sites within Qatar through the National ATM and Point of Sale (NAPS) network, and the QPay payment gateway.

Doha Bank is the first bank to offer these exclusive benefits and discounts on the Himyan debit card.
