The prestigious recognitions come following the company’s outstanding performance through 2021, and its excellence in improving customers’ experiences with the introduction of innovative insurance solutions, some of them for the first time in the market. The recognition also reflects QIC’s success in leading the industry’s digital transformation in Qatar and the region, and in achieving unprecedented levels of services and products’ digitalization over the past year, allowing customers to manage their insurance needs instantly, remotely and in a few steps.
Commenting on the awards, Salem Al Mannai, QIC Group’s CEO, said, “We are happy to be once again recognized for our excellence and innovation on both the local and regional levels at 11th annual edition of The Global Banking & Finance Review Awards.

QIC was also the first insurance company in Qatar to introduce a COVID-19 cover as part of its travel insurance products. The introduction of this product has, without a doubt, contributed to the revival of travel to and from Qatar, allowing customers to travel safely thanks to the wide range of benefits it offers.
