“Life in Qatar” is a tailored banking proposition for expatriates who are soon to arrive in, or have recently relocated to, Qatar. “Life in Qatar” is designed to reduce the stress of relocation by helping expatriates settle in faster whilst providing a wide range of rewards that now include enhanced phone and SIM offers from Ooredoo. This partnership will provide new and exciting offers to customers.
 
“Life in Qatar” customers with a monthly salary between QAR 4,000- QAR 35,000 will receive an Ooredoo SIM card; top-up card and Data Card for additional calling and data usage on Ooredoo’s bigger and faster network.

Commercial Bank EGM, Head of Retail and Enterprise Banking, Dean Proctor, said: “Getting a local mobile phone number is one of the first essential tasks for expatriates when relocating to Qatar. This way, they can easily arrange things while settling in, and keep in touch with their families back home. I am delighted that Ooredoo, as “Life in Qatar’s” new mobile partner, will provide our qualifying customers with enhanced mobile rewards to help make the life of new arrivals easier by getting connected quickly and easily. Commercial Bank is both the first and the leading bank in Qatar providing a specialised proposition for new arrivals, and our partnership with Ooredoo is a step forward in enhancing our relationship with the leading telecommunications company in Qatar.”

It’s always been easy to get connected with just a passport with Ooredoo, and now, from the moment they get off the plane, people can get online with the biggest and fastest network in the country, and keep their money safe with one of Qatar’s most respected banks.”
