Doha Bank

Doha Bank (DOHA BANK Q.P.S.C) is a Qatari banking and financial services institution founded in 1979 and described in the supplied source as one of Qatar's leading commercial banks. It serves individuals, companies and institutions, with activities organized around commercial banking, treasury and investment, international banking, and retail banking. The bank offers banking and financial services in Qatar and has pursued an international presence. The supplied Arabic-language source reports branches in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and India, alongside representative offices in Japan, China, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Bangladesh and Nepal. These markets and locations indicate an international footprint, although the evidence does not specify the current status or exact services at each location. The source also describes a strategic transformation program called Hima, intended to create sustainable value for investors and support responsible growth. It reports that Doha Bank received recognition in 2024 for digital banking, environmental, social and governance performance, housing finance, and transformation. The same source notes four international ISO certifications awarded in 2024 and reports credit ratings of A from Fitch and Ba1 from Moody's, each with a stable outlook. These are claims from the supplied source and are not independently verified here.

Doha Bank (DOHA BANK Q.P.S.C) is a Qatari banking and financial services institution established in 1979. The supplied source identifies it as a prominent commercial bank in Qatar and describes a business serving individual, corporate and institutional customers. The source does not identify the bank's founders or provide a detailed account of its early formation, so those particulars are not included here. The source describes four main business groups: commercial banking, treasury and investment, international banking, and retail banking. Together, these areas define the bank's broad commercial remit across customer banking, business services, financial markets and cross-border activity. Specific account types, lending products, or investment instruments are not enumerated in the available evidence. International expansion is a prominent part of the account of the bank's operations. The supplied Arabic-language article reports branches in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and India, as well as representative offices in Japan, China, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Bangladesh and Nepal. The evidence establishes that these locations are reported as part of the bank's international network, but does not give opening dates or confirm the present operating status of each office. The article also describes a strategic transformation initiative named Hima. It says the program aims to create sustainable value for investors and encourage responsible growth. In connection with this transformation, the source reports that Doha Bank received a 2024 award recognizing it as Qatar's best bank in transformation, citing innovation, digital transformation and corporate sustainability. For 2024, the source lists awards for digital banking excellence, ESG, and housing finance, as well as the transformation recognition. It also reports four ISO certifications: ISO 27001:2013 for information security and data protection, ISO 20000:2018 for IT services, ISO 10002:2018 for customer feedback management, and ISO 9001:2015 for quality management. These descriptions and dates are presented as reported in the supplied source rather than as independently checked findings. The source further gives credit ratings of A from Fitch and Ba1 from Moody's, with stable outlooks for both. It does not state when these ratings were assigned. The supplied evidence therefore supports a concise history of the bank's founding, business structure, reported international footprint and 2024 transformation and recognition, but does not establish a fuller chronology of ownership, leadership, listing, or changes in the bank's operations.
