Qtel customers can pay their bills using cards issued by any Bank at all Doha Bank ATMs or in cash at selected ATMs in Qatar, further extending Qtel’s indirect payment channels.

Doha Bank today announced the winners of the Bank’s promotion to award customers paying their Qtel bills using the Bank’s ATMs. The promotion was open to all Qtel customers, regardless of whether they have a Doha Bank account or not.

40 lucky winners who used Doha Bank’s ATMs to complete self-service payments during November 2012 received prizes from Doha Bank and Qtel, including 10 Samsung Galaxy S3 smart phones and 30 USB Modems with complimentary Broadband SIMs and 1 month free Internet, in the raffle draw.

Post-paid customers can pay their Shahry and residential fixed line bills, as well as review their account balances or manage other transactions at any of Doha Bank’s ATMs located conveniently across the country. Every payment transaction provides users with a bonus opportunity to win the prizes. Prepaid customers also received an entry for every payment transaction conducted through Doha Bank ATMs. These include Hala pre-paid top-ups.

Mr. Suresh Bajpai, Head of Retail Banking at Doha Bank said: “Doha Bank’s partnership with Qtel demonstrated the value of Doha Bank’s broad network in Qatar which provides easy access to Qtel’s customers in multiple locations and extends Qtel’s self-service payment platform to reach a much broader audience. The partnership with Qtel is a long-term commitment by Doha Bank to enhance channel access to Qtel’s customers and Doha Bank will continue to maintain the technology platform to the benefit of future users.”

Mr. Suresh Bajpai continued “Although the promotion is complete, the service will continue to be offered by Doha Bank to all Qtel customers via the Bank’s ATMs being the 2nd largest network in Qatar strategically covering the whole country. This is coupled with the additional functionality of paying Qtel bills for the first time in Qatar using cash. Real-time cash deposit functionality has been added to a selection of conveniently located ATMs, which provides Qtel customers with a new alternative to pay all bills in cash, without necessarily being Doha Bank customers.”
