QNB Earns Double Honours for Transaction Banking

QNB Group, a leading financial institution in the Middle East and Africa, has been recognised for its continued efforts to transform transaction banking services, receiving two major awards at the Asian Banking & Finance (ABF) Wholesale Banking Awards 2026.

 The Group was named Qatar Domestic Open Banking Initiative of the Year and Qatar Domestic Cash Management Bank of the Year, reflecting its commitment to developing banking services that are simpler, more accessible, and better integrated into the day-to-day operations of corporate and institutional clients.

QNB was recognised for its Open Banking platform, which provides businesses, partners, and developers with secure access to a growing ecosystem of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Beyond core connectivity, the platform now offers a rich suite of highvalue APIs, including international and domestic transfers, bill payments, intraday account statements, card statements, as well as IBAN validation and enquiry services.

 These capabilities enable organisations to seamlessly integrate banking services into their own systems, streamlining payments, automating reconciliation, and providing real-time access to critical financial data to drive efficiency and informed decision-making.

These awards reflect the Group’s commitment to developing solutions that address the evolving needs of businesses and support their long-term growth. Through continued investment in Open Banking, cash management, and digital capabilities, QNB is helping clients improve efficiency, strengthen financial control, and manage their operations with greater confidence.

The platform supports a broad range of services across payments, foreign exchange, account information, trade finance, reporting, and utility payments, enabling businesses to manage financial operations more effectively. Interest in QNB’s Open Banking capabilities continues to grow among regional and local organisations, reflecting increasing demand for integrated banking solutions that support digital transformation and contribute to the development of Qatar’s financial sector in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.

QNB was also recognised for its cash management offering, which continues to evolve in line with the changing needs of businesses operating across local and international markets.

The Group has invested in a range of solutions designed to enhance visibility, control, and efficiency across treasury and payment operations. These include multicurrency payment capabilities, virtual account management, enhanced cross-border collections, cash forecasting tools, and automated reconciliation solutions.
