Doha, Qatar – May 17, 2018 – Barwa Bank, Qatar’s most progressive Shari’ah compliant financial service provider, has announced a slew of customers centric campaigns and initiatives for the holy month of Ramadan.

In one of the initiatives, the Bank has launched Mastercard Weekend offer for its existing Barwa Bank Mastercard holders. The move has been taken in order to encourage the credit card holders to spend more using their cards during the weekends. This offer is valid till July 21, 2018.

The winner will be chosen based on the highest number of transactions during the weekend, starting Thursday morning till Saturday midnight. 10 lucky winners stand a chance to win a travel voucher of QAR 5,000 each. Additionally, the customers would also earn loyalty points with every purchase. These points would be redeemable with Qatar Airways Privilege Club, Nojoom and other leading merchants across Qatar.

Secondly, Barwa Bank’s Ramadan Futsal Tournament is back with all the action. By participating in the 8^th Edition of Barwa Bank Tournament for Futsal, customers can contribute to charity. Starting on May 17, 2018 at Al Gharafa Sports Club, there are 5 Awards that will be distributed post the tournament: The winning team will take home 30,000 QAR; first qualifying team would win 20,000 QAR; while the second qualifying team would win 10,000 QAR. There is an award of 3,000 QAR for the Best Goal Keeper and 3,000 QAR for the Top Scorer. Barwa Bank, in cooperation with the Qatar Charity Foundation, will donate three times the registration proceeds for needy families.

As part of the third initiative towards making an impact to the society, like last year, Barwa Bank is re-launching its credit card that cares for the society, in partnership with Qatar Charity this year too. The Barwa Bank Qatar Charity co-branded credit card empowers its holders to make a difference in the community with every purchase they make, through a charity contribution that is made by Barwa Bank every time a client uses the card. The introduction of this card honors the Holy Month’s values and deeds of charity and solidarity, while propagating their positive impact on Society throughout the year.

In addition to the above cards and initiatives, the bank is also launching its Ramadan quiz, where thirty contestants stand to win QAR 1,000 each. The winners will be announced after the Ramadan.

The Bank has also launched a video series on its various social media platforms under the name 'Enta Tadry', which offers general information and important tips related to the holy month. The video series presents useful information for the benefit of the community.

All these endeavors are a part of Barwa Bank’s wider Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which is centered on the Bank’s core philosophy of putting people and communities first. Through such initiatives, the Bank aims at reaffirming its constant commitment to contribute to developing all that serves the community.
