Now available for all individual AlRayan Bank customers, the app launches with “a wide variety of banking services such as account services, transfer, card management, and many more”, according to an app store description.
Through the Backbase-powered offering, users will be able to make top-ups to the Hala and Shahry mobile plans provided by Qatari telecoms provider Ooredoo, as well as pay bills to Kahramaa, the General Electricity and Water Corporation of Qatar.
In a LinkedIn post commending the launch, Backbase says the app is designed to “enhance digital experiences while staying true to Sharia-compliant principles,” offering “faster transfers” and “advanced security features”.
Backbase has previously been involved in a number of projects aimed at enhancing digital banking capabilities across the Middle East, including its partnership with Saudi National Bank (SNB) to launch the NEO mobile banking app in September, as well as the launch of Vision Bank’s digital banking app the same month.
Backbase and AlRayan Bank were contacted by FinTech Futures for comment.
