QIB Partners With Unravel To Launch In-App Travel Booking
Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) has partnered with Unravel, a video commerce platform for travel and lifestyle, to introduce a travel discovery and hotel booking service through the QIB Mobile App.
The service allows debit and credit cardholders to explore and book more than 3.5 million hotels worldwide. It combines short-form hotel videos, AI-powered travel planning, and integrated booking facilities.
Customers can browse accommodation options, receive personalized recommendations based on their preferences, and complete bookings without leaving the banking app.
QIB cardholders will also have access to exclusive member rates, a best-price guarantee, and 24-hour customer support through WhatsApp and email.
The platform includes travel filters to help customers find accommodation suited to different needs, including family holidays. Unravel’s service covers properties across more than 190 countries, with customer support available before, during, and after trips.
“Our partnership with Unravel allows us to offer QIB cardholders exclusive hotel rates and a convenient way to discover, plan, and book their travel within the same trusted digital environment they already use for their everyday banking needs. This addition reflects our continued commitment to enhancing the customer experience and providing greater value through innovative digital solutions.”
Vijay Anand, Founder and CEO of Unravel, emphasized that, “We are delighted to partner with QIB to bring Unravel’s travel experience to Qatar for the first time. By combining immersive video discovery, AI-powered planning, and an extensive global hotel offering, we are creating a more intuitive way for customers to move from travel inspiration to booking. QIB’s strong focus on digital innovation and customer experience makes it an ideal partner as we expand our presence in the region.”
The service is designed to take customers from travel research to booking within a single platform, according to the companies.
Unravel operates a travel and lifestyle platform that combines video content with AI-enabled planning and accommodation booking. Through the partnership, QIB cardholders can access its hotel inventory and related travel services directly through the bank’s mobile application.
