History of QNB

QNB, originally Qatar National Bank, was established in 1964 as the first Qatari-owned commercial bank. It was rebranded to QNB in 2004 and has since played a pivotal role in Qatar’s development.

QNB’s international expansion began in 1976 with its first overseas branch in London, followed by Paris in 1978.

A significant expansion plan launched in 2005 extended QNB’s presence to more than 31 countries today, supported by subsidiaries, branches, and representative offices.

Domestically, the establishment of QNB Capital in 2008 and QNB Financial Services (QNBFS) in 2011 has cemented QNB as a modern financial institution offering advanced investment and financial services.
