QNB announced the awarding of a landmark and strategically significant project to Ooredoo Qatar for the complete modernisation of its surveillance systems across all branches, corporate buildings, and ATM networks.

The initiative is designed to significantly strengthen QNB's overall security posture and guarantee full compliance with the latest Ministry of Interior (MOI) regulatory standards. As part of the initiative, QNB is equipping 40 branches, 11 corporate buildings, and 420 ATMs with state-of-the-art, next-generation infrastructure.

The cooperation follows a rigorous and highly competitive procurement process, during which Ooredoo Qatar demonstrated not only its unrivalled expertise and advanced technological capabilities but also its ability to deliver large-scale national projects with absolute precision, professionalism, and reliability.

Through the project, QNB is not simply upgrading technology - it is making a strategic investment in security resilience and operational excellence. The modernisation will ensure that customers, employees, and assets are safeguarded by one of the most advanced and secure surveillance frameworks in the Qatari banking industry.

Yousef Ali al-Darwish, senior executive vice president - QNB Group Projects and General Services, stated: "At QNB, we believe that security and trust form the foundation of banking excellence. By modernising our surveillance and IT infrastructure in partnership with Ooredoo Qatar, we are reaffirming our commitment to innovation, regulatory compliance, and customer confidence.

This collaboration enables us to leverage advanced technologies that meet the highest standards, ensuring long-term value for QNB and the communities we serve."

By undertaking the strategic collaboration, Ooredoo is reinforcing its role as a trusted national partner in advancing Qatar's technological infrastructure and supporting the security of its financial ecosystem.

Together, both organisations will set a new benchmark for financial-sector resilience, surveillance excellence, and regulatory compliance - a benchmark that underscores Qatar's global reputation as a leader in financial security and digital innovation.

The partnership not only delivers tangible technological benefits but also symbolises Qatar's broader vision of national development, security assurance, and world-class infrastructure for its financial sector.
