DOHA: Commercial Bank has announced a new campaign for its ‘Life in Qatar’ customers following the continued success of the tailored product for expatriates soon to arrive in, or have recently relocated to Qatar.
‘Life in Qatar’ aims to reduce the stress of relocation by helping expatriates settle in faster while providing a wide-range of rewards that now include a free gift voucher to furnish their new homes.
‘Life in Qatar’ customers with a monthly salary of over QR15,000 who open an account in the bank with a credit card will receive a free gift voucher worth up to QR1,000 to help furnishing their new homes, redeemable at selected furniture stores.
Customers with a monthly salary of over QR7,500 with an account and credit card are entitled for a furniture voucher worth QR500.
With the product, the process for getting a loan is easier for new arrivals as they can receive immediate approvals on vehicle and personal loan applications to help them cover essential initial expenses entailed by relocation.
It provides an opportunity for salaried expatriates to ease the burden of moving prior, during and after arrival.
Before arrival, expatriates can open accounts through online Commercial Bank banking services for remittance.
The bank’s website www.lifeinqatar.com provides reliable information to answer the most frequently asked questions by those intending to relocate and it’s constantly updated to help them adapt to living in Qatar.
On arrival, the bank’s debit cards are readily available for collection.
‘Life in Qatar’ also helps customers get instantly connected by providing them with a free phone and SIM card. They are also applicable for hotel discounts in Doha.
Customers get a free executive service to find a home; up to 30 percent discount on car rental and discounts at B/Attitude spa in Doha.
For Sadara, eligible customers are entitled for airport pick-up to a destination of their choice on arrival.
Dean Proctor, EGM, Head of Retail and Enterprise, said: “The bank is the leading lender in the market, providing a specialised proposition for new arrivals in Qatar.
“It also offers the most comprehensive range of benefits for salaried expatriates about to move and, or have recently relocated to Qatar.
“We are extending our rewards further to cover home furnishing.
“Geographical transfer from one country to another is always a daunting process, but ‘Life in Qatar’ is designed to smoothen and facilitate expatriates’ experience even before their arrival.”
