Doha, Qatar: In line with the Third Financial Sector Strategy and as part of Qatar Central Bank's ongoing efforts to develop digital payment systems and services, and to strengthen cooperation among the GCC countries, Qatar Central Bank announced the acceptance of the national payment card HIMYAN in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
With this expansion, HIMYAN cardholders can now conduct purchase and cash withdrawal transactions through various points of sale and ATMs in the Kingdom of Bahrain, in accordance with the highest standards of security and protection.
This follows a similar agreement with Kuwait, announced in December 2025, which enabled HIMYAN cardholders to use the card across the Gulf country.
This expansion comes as part of Qatar Central Bank's commitment to enhancing regional integration in the field of payment systems and expanding the use of national payment solutions across the GCC countries.
HIMYAN is considered the first national payment card under a Qatari brand, launched by Qatar Central Bank as part of its continuous efforts to enhance and develop digital payment systems in support of innovation and digital transformation within the financial sector in the State of Qatar, through the provision of secure and effective local payment solutions.
