Commercial Bank reveals 'first special edition stamps' in collaboration with Qatar Post for 50th anniversary

Commercial Bank has partnered with Qatar Post to issue the first special edition post stamps in celebration of its 50th (golden) anniversary.

This collaboration symbolises Commercial Bank’s legacy and commitment to Qatar’s growth, marking five decades of innovation, dedication, and service excellence.

The stamps were unveiled at a media event held at the Commercial Bank Plaza on Sunday.

Throughout the years, Commercial Bank’s efforts have been centred around client convenience and community advancement. That, the bank said, has been evident in the instrumental role it has, and continues to, play in elevating the financial landscape across Qatar.

Since its establishment, the bank has envisioned a banking experience poised not only to prosper but to revolutionise the landscape of financial services. Its catalysing vision has enabled it to gradually become a pioneer in the banking sector, introducing many first-of-its-kind services that have contributed to Qatar’s economic success story.

Commercial Bank opened the first private bank in 1974, and introduced the first ATM in Qatar in 1994, the first ladies-only branch in Qatar, the first ladies branch manager, the first visa card, and many other notable achievements.

With these milestones in place, Commercial Bank views its 50th anniversary celebration as a collective accomplishment, one that should be shared with its stakeholders and the wider community in Qatar, and for that, has chosen to launch the first special edition post stamps in Qatar to commemorate this timeless significance.

"Brand presence has consistently been a fundamental priority for Commercial Bank," stated HE Abdul Rahman bin Hamad al-Attiyah, Board Member of Commercial Bank.

"Over the years, our brand has gained increasing prominence across Qatar and the region, reflecting our dedication to advancing Qatar's economic leadership and fostering impactful progress. We are honoured to be the first bank to collaborate with Qatar Post in issuing exclusive post stamps to commemorate this significant milestone.

“The celebration of Commercial Bank’s golden anniversary marks this moment in our history, illustrating the progression from our modest beginnings to becoming a leading force in innovation and excellence. Through our contributions to Qatar’s remarkable economic development, we have kept the nation’s legacy of perseverance, progress, and agility, which continue to define our aspirations for the future."

Qatar Post Chairman and Managing Director Faleh bin Mohammed al-Naemi stated: "We are pleased to collaborate with Commercial Bank in launching the first special edition post stamp to commemorate the Bank's 50th anniversary. This initiative marks an important milestone in our partnership with the banking sector, as it represents the first time that joint post stamps have been created with this vital sector.

“Furthermore, it reflects the strengthening of the partnership and the remarkable achievements between Qatar Post and Commercial Bank, particularly in the area of digitising payments for mailbox subscription fees. This new service enables Commercial Bank customers to renew their mailbox subscriptions easily online, providing them with a seamless and user-friendly digital experience.

“Qatar Post continues to serve as a leading provider of postal services and a key player in logistics. Additionally, we are proud of our active role in supporting the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030 by offering innovative and reliable solutions that meet the needs of both individuals and businesses, as well as facilitating money transfer operations."

As Commercial Bank embarks on a new chapter, it stands as a pioneer in a new age of banking; one that integrates cutting-edge technology with world-class financial services and always puts its customers at the heart of everything it does.
