Doha Bank has been awarded the prestigious title of Best Bank for Homeowners in Qatar at the 2025 Euromoney Awards for Excellence. The recognition underscores Doha Bank's leadership in transforming the housing finance landscape in Qatar through customer-centric innovation, market responsiveness, and a strong commitment to sustainability.
The award reflects the success of Doha Bank's 2024 Housing Loan Campaign, which introduced a new era of responsible and rewarding home financing solutions tailored to the needs of modern homeowners.
By offering exclusive incentives, expanded financing options, and a streamlined experience, the campaign redefined what customers can expect from home loans in Qatar. From ready-built properties and residential land to GSAS-certified green developments in Lusail and The Pearl, the bank's portfolio offered wide-ranging solutions built on flexibility and customer value.
In addition to competitive benefits such as complimentary life and fire insurance, generous cashback or vehicle offers, and fee refunds, the bank ensured faster turnaround times and deeper engagement with both clients and real estate partners. The campaign was also notable for advancing the bank's ESG strategy, with dedicated green financing offerings developed in collaboration with the Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD) in support of Qatar National Vision 2030.
The housing loan portfolio recorded a 23% year-on-year growth, driven by the campaign's strong performance and high customer retention, reinforcing Doha Bank's position as a preferred financial partner for aspiring homeowners in Qatar.
Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Fahad bin Faisal Al Thani, Group Chief Executive Officer at Doha Bank, said: 'This award reflects our deep commitment to empowering families and individuals across Qatar to own homes that align with both their aspirations and our nation's sustainability goals. We are proud to lead the way in delivering responsible, customer-focused, and innovative housing finance solutions.'
Dimitrios Kokosioulis, Deputy Chief Executive Officer at Doha Bank, added: 'Our Housing Loan Campaign was built around real customer needs: value, simplicity, and trust. The results speak for themselves. This recognition from Euromoney is a testament to our team's dedication to delivering products that not only meet market demand but also promote long-term financial and environmental responsibility.'
The recognition from Euromoney further affirms Doha Bank's mission to deliver superior customer experiences and contribute meaningfully to the development of a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready financial sector in Qatar.
