Mobile Application
|
GCC’s largest financial institution QNB Group was awarded the “best mobile application payment” award for its “Tap and Pay” card option at the “Smart Card Awards Middle East 2012”, held recently in Abu Dhabi.
In March this year, QNB launched its “Tap and Pay” card feature at QITCOM, ahead of its rollout Qatar wide. After only three months of use in the market, this option has clearly been a resounding success for customers and retailers alike as is affirmed through this award win.
QNB was the first bank in Qatar to launch a card with a Tap and Pay feature through a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled phone, once again signalling its place at the forefront of the banking sector. This service is currently available on a number of smartphones.
“Further, QNB customers have been eagerly switching over to this innovative service which promises to make buying and paying quicker and simpler,” QNB said.
NFC is a set of standards for smartphones and similar gadgets, working by establishing radio communication with each other by either touching them together or bringing them into very close proximity with one another.
As such, QNB Group is always looking for ways to adapt technological advances into its products to keep up with world standards while making banking that much easier for its customers.
Moreover, through a deal between QNB and Qtel, customers of both companies have the added benefit of signing up for a QNB PayPass enabled Qtel SIM card. Additionally, QNB customers who are looking for even more “time and cost effective” methods, there is a ‘sticker’ equipped with PayPass technology that can then be secured onto their existing mobile phones.
