“In fact, the two Visa cards are more than just two bank cards, as they open new horizons and provide pioneering corporate payment solutions, as well as a wide range of payment services to our corporate customers who have always benefited from the best solutions.”
He continued, “We made sure that the Visa Signature Business Credit card is provided to small- and medium-sized companies. Our interest in this category of customers exceeds the normal banking aspect, as we strive to support entrepreneurs and development in order to achieve prosperity in society. SMEs are an indispensable component of this process.”
Sheikh Abdul Aziz added, “The second Visa Signature Corporate credit card is provided to large companies with which we established long-lasting partnerships that have been reinforced with time. We always strive to provide services that meet their needs and aspirations. We hope that the new card will meet these companies' aspirations in terms of payments to a large extent.
“QIIB made great strides in developing its card services, as it launched many cards that were well received by its clientele. In recent times, the bank has been able to launch card services that target specific categories, such as the Visa corporate cards that we are launching today. The bank also launched its corporate cash deposit card, employees' salary card, and domestic worker card.”
He stressed that the bank will continue to implement its plans and seek to develop various services and products, including card products, in line with the bank's digital transformation plans, which have made exceptional strides during the past period.
Dr Sudheer Nair, Visa’s country manager for Qatar, said: “We are delighted to partner with QIIB to launch our Visa Corporate card solutions for businesses in Qatar. After a difficult year for many businesses, particularly SMBs, our card solution is an attractive proposition for businesses looking to reduce cost and streamline expense reporting both easily and securely.
“And as travel eventually reopens, businesses will also be able to benefit from exclusive offers as well as the peace of mind of global acceptance at Visa’s 70mn merchant locations. We continue to work closely with our partners like QIIB in supporting local businesses in their recovery and the country’s economic growth.”
