QNB Group said in a statement that it had secured seven wins at the Global Finance World’s Best Digital Bank Awards for 2026. The awards recognise the bank’s achievements in areas such as mobile banking, internet banking and customer experience solutions. This recognition comes as QNB continues to expand its digital offerings to a customer base spanning multiple continents.
According to the announcement, the bank’s digital platforms have seen substantial growth in usage, driven by features like instant account opening and secure transaction verification through push notifications. QNB was the first in Qatar and the Middle East to introduce ATMs with bulk cash deposit functionality, a development that has enhanced customer convenience. These innovations have been central to the bank’s strategy of delivering seamless digital services.
QNB Group is one of the leading financial institutions in the Middle East and Africa and is ranked as the most valuable banking brand in the MEA region, according to the statement. With operations in more than 30 countries, the group serves millions of customers through its advanced digital infrastructure. The awards add to a series of recent honours the bank has received from international publications for its performance in digital and sustainable finance.
Global Finance magazine’s annual awards are based on rigorous evaluation of digital capabilities, security and innovation, drawing on data from banks worldwide. A separate assessment by the same publication previously highlighted QNB’s strengths in multi-channel offerings and omni-channel customer experience in the Middle East and North Africa. The latest victories underscore the effectiveness of QNB’s investments in technology and customer-centric design.
The bank has launched more than 60 new digital features in the past year, contributing to higher transaction volumes and customer satisfaction levels, the statement added. Among the new services are digital motor insurance and visa transfers, which have streamlined processes for users. QNB’s approach aligns with broader trends in the GCC banking sector toward greater digitalisation to meet rising demand for contactless services.
Industry reports indicate that digital banking adoption in Qatar has accelerated, with mobile and internet channels accounting for the majority of transactions. QNB’s success in the Global Finance awards places it among the top performers in a competitive regional market. The group said it remains committed to further enhancing its digital ecosystem to support its growth objectives.
