Doha: Commercial Bank has launched another exciting, “Register, Tap N’ Earn” campaign following the huge success and overwhelming customer response of its prior Tap N Pay campaign launched earlier in the first quarter of this year. 

CB customers who have not yet enjoyed the seamless experience of paying with their mobile phones are encouraged to register their cards on the CBQ Mobile App and use it for in-store payments. 

The “Register, Tap N’ Earn” campaign that runs from August 15 to October 31, 2021, reflects the Bank’s digital leadership in the market. CB customers, who use Android operated mobile phones, are invited to use CB Pay, Qatar’s first Cards digital mobile wallet, for the chance to earn QR50 by registering for their first CB Pay tap transaction and additionally earn QR10 for every subsequent tap, up to a maximum total of QR200 guaranteed cash prize over the campaign period.

To seize this opportunity, customers just have to login to the CBQ Mobile App using their Android mobile phone, digitise their CB Credit or Debit Cards by selecting CB Pay under Card services and start using the Android mobile phone for their in-store POS purchases.

Amit Sah, EGM and Head of Retail Banking at Commercial Bank, said: “As a digital market leader and trendsetter, Commercial Bank is proud to reshape customer payment behavior and launch the second campaign this year to encourage and benefit customers from a unique offering like Register, Tap N’ Earn campaign. 

“CB Pay has proven its relevance since its introduction to the Qatari market, given the radical and ever-changing behaviour of customers who are, nowadays, steering more towards mobile and digital banking,” he added.

Roya Khajeh, AGM and Head of Cards and Payments, said: “Contactless mobile payment is the future! Commercial Bank constantly strives to introduce the latest payment technologies to our customers and keep them engaged with exciting campaigns, supporting the adoption towards these new payment channels. Our previous CB Pay campaign has generated a positive response and to build the momentum, we are launching another exciting opportunity for customers to earn up to QR200 during the campaign period by simply registering and tapping their phones.” 

As a digital pioneer, Commercial Bank introduced CB Pay, the first-ever Cards digital mobile wallet in Qatar over a year ago. It provides safer and faster payment options, whereby customers can simply select the CB Credit or Debit card they wish to add to their mobile phones.

CB Pay can be used locally and abroad and allows online payments, in-store payments (Android phones only), and a better card control. Commercial Bank contactless card offering “Tap & Pay” has been a huge success and complemented the Qatari government’s COVID-19 measures of safe and hygienic payments.

Within three years of launching its contactless technology, Commercial Bank has successfully reached over 17 million taps, by customers using their contactless cards and devices at their favourite local and international outlets.
