Qatar Islamic Bank announced that it has opened a new branch at the Mall of Qatar. The move comes as part of QIB's strategic expansion plan to locate its branches at key landmarks within the country. In 2017, the bank had also opened a new branch at the Ministry of Endowment and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf) Tower in West Bay and relocated its Al Gharrafa branch to Q-mall, another famous landmark. The new branch at the Mall of Qatar will have extended working hours throughout the week. It will operate from Saturday to Thursday from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm, and from 3:30 to 9:00 pm local time. The branch will also be open on Fridays from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm local time.
