It has been made for those with salaries less than QAR5,000 ($1,373.25), and in line with the bank’s aim to promote e-payment solutions.

Cardholders can avail several benefits and services such as conducting real-time transactions through the bank’s digital platforms.

It will enable employers to disburse salaries to employees directly to the card using the QIIB mobile app or internet banking.

QIIB’s new card also acts as a certified record of all monthly salary payments for workers and it can be used in all ATMs and points of sale (POS) terminals across the country.
