In a new promotion scheme for NRI Remittances, Qatar
National Bank (QNB) customers using the Bank's EAZYinternet e-banking
channel to transfer funds in Indian Rupees to their HDFC Bank accounts
will have the opportunity to win 100,000 Qmiles. QNB said NRIs are increasingly
in need of faster and more efficient cash remittance services and the
promotion is intended to help promote the ease, security and speed of
using online banking channels to make monthly remittances.
Each month, two lucky winners will win 100,000 Qmiles
each - the reward miles awarded to Qatar Airways frequent flyers - with
a total of 6 winners being chosen before the end of the promotion on
December 31, 2008. Winners may exchange their Qmiles for airline tickets
or upgrades to their existing flights. To qualify for the monthly draws,
customers must utilise the QNB NRI Remittance Service available on their
EAZYinternet accounts, which is part of the EAZYLife suite of eBanking
channels, created to provide QNB customers with greater transaction
ease, 24-hour functionality, and global access. Remittances sent either
to a customer's own account or a third party qualify for the draw, provided
they are transferred through QNB's EAZYinternet under the QNB NRI Remittance
service. The remittance is priced at a nominal fee of only QR5 and credit
is received by the beneficiary in one working day. QNB customers already
utilizing EAZYinternet services are advised to register their beneficiary
details by clicking on the "Add Beneficiary" icon once they
log into their accounts to avail of the services.
