Qatar Islamic Bank enables online purchases of Travel Takaful plan

Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) has introduced online purchases for the Travel Takaful plan, underwritten by Damaan Islamic Insurance Company (Beema) and distributed by QIB.

With the new functionality, QIB’s customers can conveniently purchase the Travel Takaful plan through the Bank’s website  using their debit or credit card, at any time, from the comfort of their home or office.

The multi-trip Travel Takaful plan provides travel benefits such as compensation in case of lost/delayed baggage, delay in departures, or in the event of lost passports, National IDs and driving licences.A key benefit is the coverage of medical expenses incurred abroad, including hospital and surgical costs, dental emergencies, as well as other emergencies and needs that can occur when travelling.

“The shari'ah-compliant Travel Takaful plans are developed and constantly improved as part of our continued commitment to ensure that our customers’ needs are recognised and supported at all times considering that they are traveling frequently throughout the year,” said D. Anand, GM, QIB’s Personal Banking Group. “With the new instant online purchase functionality, customers don’t need to visit a branch to take out a policy, but can do so from their home or office. This simplified approach reflects our dedication to providing the highest quality service and convenience to our customers.”
