QCB Announces Closure of Eidiya ATM Service

The Qatar Central Bank (QCB) has announced the closure of its Eidiya ATM service, which allowed users to withdraw Eidiya cash during Eid Al Fitr.

QCB had launchs of 43 Eidiya ATMs across nine locations in the country to facilitate the traditional practice of giving cash gifts during Eid.

The machines, which are available from March 10, dispensed fresh banknotes in denominations of QR5, QR10, QR50, QR100 and QR200.

The Eidiya ATMs have been installed at several major shopping and commercial locations.

According to QCB, the initiative was designed to make it easier for residents to obtain small-denomination banknotes traditionally used for Eidiya, the cash gifts given to children and family members during Eid celebrations.
