Doha: Following huge success last year, Doha Bank has announced the launch of an all-new Expat Account Package offering customers enhanced rewards and benefits.
The package is a bundle of banking products and services tailored to the needs of expat professionals from all nationalities arriving in Qatar.
Designed as the perfect welcome gift for professional-class, white-collar expats, the package received an overwhelming response from overseas professionals upon its launch last year. Capitalising on the popular demand for the product, the bank has gone the extra mile this year to offer customers a broader line-up of rewards, discounts and benefits.
Offers introduced this year include a QR1,500 voucher to be redeemed when availing tinting services at Ziebart, dining vouchers with every new Doha Bank credit card, remittance services that allow customers to send money to home at the most competitive exchange rates and transaction charges in the market, and a QR200 gift card from Jumbo Electronics for the first 500 salary transfer accounts.
Customers also enjoy zero interest payment plans when purchasing furniture, electronics and other items using their credit cards. The package also allows customers to access products and services from the bank, including the DBank Mobile service with biometric banking, Apple Watch features which won the award for Best Web/Mobile Banking Service at Banker Middle East Industry Awards 2016, Lulu-Doha Bank Shopping Credit Card and Al Dana Savings Scheme, named Best Co-Branded Credit Card and Best Savings Account, respectively, at the awards.
By joining Al Dana Savings Scheme, the most popular in Qatar, customers stand the chance to win life-changing rewards, including up to QR1m in monthly draws.
Tailored to give expat professionals the best start to their life in Qatar, the package allows them to open a salary account with the bank in 30 minutes from the convenience of their home or workplace, using their tablets or smartphones.
With buying a car often being one of the first tasks on the checklist for new-to-Qatar professionals, the bank has included in the package a heavily discounted car loan offer with an annual interest rate of 1.99 percent a year — the lowest rate in the market — allowing customers to drive home their dream car by following a simple, easy and hassle-free process.
Loans get approved in one hour and can be paid back in easy, convenient installments. The bank is also offering up to 25 percent discount on the car insurance premium.
To make the package more rewarding, the bank is offering customers a free-for-life Dream, Ladies or Platinum credit card with savings up to 1.25 percent and a first-year-free Lulu-Doha Bank Shopping Credit Card that allows customers to enjoy five percent discount when shopping at Lulu supermarkets in Qatar.
Customers availing the package can opt for a low-interest personal loan from the bank to meet expenditure requirements in Qatar and access cross-border financing solutions.
The package also provides most competitive interest rates on deposit schemes. To know more about the package, visit http://goo.gl/fOs98l.
