Doha, Qatar: Commercial Bank, Qatar’s first private bank, has announced a number of exciting new benefits for those relocating to Qatar. Commercial Bank is the leading bank in Qatar to provide specialised services for new arrivals through its “Life in Qatar” offer that reduces the stress of relocating.

Commercial Bank’s “Life in Qatar” is designed with the customer in mind to help them settle in faster. Customers can currently open an account even before they arrive and receive a complimentary chauffeur pick up service from the airport, exceptional mobile and entertainment packages through the Bank’s partnership with Ooredoo, and support in searching for a new home.

The next wave of innovative new benefits for “Life in Qatar” customers available from 2 August include two free Uber taxi rides, complimentary vouchers worth QAR 300 towards driving lessons, and assistance in applying for a Qatari driving licence with priority registration and a free driving guide book.

To help with the costs of settling into a new country, and for a limited time only, “Life in Qatar” customers who take a Commercial Bank Credit Card will receive bonus reward-points worth up to QAR 1000. These can be used across Qatar to help customers buy essential items for their new homes, cover hidden expenses or simply enjoy a night out in town.
