Dukhan Bank wins two Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards 2026

Dukhan Bank has been named Qatar’s Best Islamic Bank and Qatar’s Best Islamic Digital Bank at the Euromoney Islamic Finance Awards 2026, recognising the lender’s performance across Islamic banking, digital transformation and customer service. The double win highlights Dukhan Bank’s expanded retail, wholesale, private banking and digital banking operations and follows a period of product rollouts and strategic partnerships intended to broaden Sharia‑compliant services and improve customer accessibility.

Ahmed Hashem, Acting CEO of Dukhan Bank, said: “These recognitions from Euromoney reflect Dukhan Bank’s continued focus on innovation, customer experience, and delivering Sharia‑compliant banking solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. Being named both Qatar’s Best Islamic Bank and Qatar’s Best Islamic Digital Bank reinforces the strong progress we continue to achieve across our strategic priorities, particularly in digital transformation and operational excellence. We remain committed to driving sustainable growth, strengthening our digital capabilities, and contributing to the continued development of Qatar’s financial sector.”

The awards come after a series of digital and customer‑facing initiatives launched by Dukhan Bank. The bank introduced Qatar’s first QDI‑integrated digital onboarding kiosk, expanded its digital banking ecosystem and rolled out Visa Card‑Linked Offers (CLO) across the CEMEA region. Dukhan Bank also enhanced real‑time payment capabilities through Fawran and launched Tahweel, an upgraded local transfer service designed to improve speed and convenience for customers.

Alongside technology upgrades, the bank has been combining personalised relationship management with advanced digital capabilities across its retail and private banking businesses to strengthen client service. The strategy has emphasised expanding product choice while maintaining Sharia compliance, with the stated aim of improving accessibility and delivering long‑term value to customers.

The Euromoney awards add to a series of recognitions for Dukhan Bank in 2026. Earlier this year the bank was ranked among Forbes Middle East’s Top 100 Listed Companies in the Middle East for 2026. It was also named the World’s Best Islamic Private Bank by Global Finance for a third consecutive year and received the Best Business Card Offering in MENA 2026 award from MEED. Dukhan Bank has framed these accolades as reinforcing its position as a leading Islamic financial institution focused on innovation and sustainable growth.

Looking ahead, Dukhan Bank intends to continue strengthening its digital capabilities and product suite in line with its strategic priorities and national objectives. The bank has positioned these efforts as contributing to the continued development of Qatar’s financial sector and supporting broader economic goals tied to Qatar National Vision 2030, with an emphasis on operational excellence, customer experience and sustained, Sharia‑compliant growth.
