Doha, Qatar: Dukhan Bank has won two major accolades at the 2026 Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards, receiving the titles of Qatar’s Best Islamic Bank and Qatar’s Best Islamic Digital Bank.
The awards reinforce Dukhan Bank’s position as one of Qatar’s leading Islamic financial institutions, recognizing its continued progress in delivering innovative, Sharia-compliant financial solutions, advancing digital transformation, and maintaining a strong customer-centric approach.
The recognition comes amid a period of sustained strategic momentum for the Bank, marked by continued growth across its retail, wholesale, private banking, and digital banking segments, alongside the introduction of several pioneering digital solutions and strategic partnerships. These included the launch of Qatar’s first QDI-integrated digital onboarding kiosk, the introduction of Visa Card-Linked Offers (CLO) across the CEMEA region, enabling customers to access personalized merchant offers directly through their eligible Visa cards, and the continued expansion of the Bank’s broader digital banking ecosystem. The Bank also enhanced its real-time payment capabilities through Fawran and further strengthened the customer experience with the introduction of Tahweel, its enhanced local transfer service.
The Bank has also continued to enhance its customer proposition by combining personalized relationship management with advanced digital capabilities, delivering seamless and convenient banking experiences across its retail and private banking businesses.
Commenting on the achievement, Ahmed I Hashem, Acting Group Chief Executive Officer of Dukhan Bank, said: “These recognitions from Euromoney reflect Dukhan Bank’s continued focus on innovation, customer experience, and delivering Sharia-compliant banking solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.
