QNB Named Best Bank in Qatar and the Middle East
for third consecutive year
Doha, June 19, 2013 – Qatar National Bank (QNB), the World’s Strongest Bank, has
been the recipient of two industry recognised awards from the Banker Middle East. QNB
was awarded the ‘Best Bank in Qatar’ Award and was additionally recognised on a
regional level as it won the ‘Best Bank in the Middle East’ category too.
2013 marks the third consecutive year that QNB won both the ‘Best Bank in Qatar’ as
well as the ‘Best Bank in the Middle East’ Awards.
A reception dinner for all award winners was held last night in Dubai on this occasion.
The addition of these two awards to QNB’s ever growing collection demonstrates that
the Bank is continuing on with its commitment to be the institution of choice for
customers, employees, investors and suppliers alike.
The Banker Middle East Industry Awards recognise the best performing financial
institutions in the MENA region. Over the years, QNB has steadily grown to be the
largest bank in the region and is by far the leading financial institution in the country
where it has a market share exceeding 45% of the banking sector assets. It is currently
ranked as the most valuable brand in the MENA region due to its continued international
expansion which is supported by strong growth locally, regionally and internationally.
The Banker relies on a detailed and accurate study of audited financial results across
14 measures to determine the Best Bank. Similar methods are also used to decide upon
the fastest growing banks in each country. Using all of this data, The Banker Middle
East then compiles a list of the Top 100 Banks.
Such awards highlight that QNB is becoming a powerhouse in its own right as it is
unwavering in providing the best products and services to all of its customers. Not to
mention that it is continuously seeking improvement through innovation and refinement
of such offerings and services.
