Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) has received the ‘Best Consumer Bank in Qatar and the Middle East’ and ‘Personalised Financial Advice in Qatar and the Middle East’ accolades at the AI in Finance Awards 2025 from Global Finance.

The accolades reinforce QIB’s position at the forefront of AI-driven banking innovation in the region. With a clear focus on delivering smarter, more intuitive digital experiences, QIB has been systematically embedding artificial intelligence across its operations to anticipate customer needs, elevate service quality, and drive sustainable growth.

One of QIB’s most notable AI implementations is Next Best Offer (NBO), a proprietary recommendation engine within the QIB Mobile App. 

Built on advanced deep learning algorithms, NBO helps deliver timely, relevant product suggestions and financial advice tailored to each customer’s profile.

 This capability ensures users receive meaningful, personalised interactions, supporting better financial decision-making while enriching their everyday banking experience.

QIB’s AI strategy goes beyond personalisation. By integrating AI into areas such as fraud detection, process automation, and digital onboarding, the bank has significantly improved operational efficiency, enhanced security, and reduced its reliance on traditional, paper-based workflows. 

These advancements reflect QIB’s commitment to responsible AI innovation that aligns with the objectives of Qatar National Vision 2030.
