Ajman Bank Introduces QR Integrated Banking Services

Ajman Bank, a leading provider of value-driven banking services in the UAE, is leveraging Quick Response (QR) code technology into their banking services that serve individuals, businesses and government clients with due compliance to shariah principles. To expedite promotion of these banking services, Ajman has come up with a unique campaign whereby all participants will be qualified to enter a raffle draw. Among the banking customers who take part in the campaign, Ajman will choose 10 winners who will be awarded with an Apple (News - Alert) iPad. The campaign consists of several drawing whereby customers can participate through various channels such as post cards, ATM screens, Ajman Bank's mall stand at Mirdif City Centre, and the bank's website.

A QR Code is a matrix barcode that consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on white background. The code can be used to encode text, URL or other data and is readable by QR scanners, mobile phones with a camera, as well as smartphones. Realizing QR technology’s growing popularity, Ajman Bank is the first in the Guld area to incorporate the QR code within its services. Through its unique campaign, Ajman aims to showcase QR code capabilities and purpose in front of its customers. QR code will be integrated in various Ajman’s bank communication materials such as business cards, ATMs as well as account and credit services.

In a press release, Mubashar H. Khokhar, CEO of Ajman Bank, commented, “The integration of QR technology will give Ajman Bank customers more opportunity to take advantage of our growing array of services. This emerging technology will allow our customer to access bank information both quickly and effectively, helping to bring people closer to the Ajman Bank brand.”

As a young, agile Islamic commercial bank, Ajman Bank leverages market's best products, people and technology to deliver according to customer’s needs; thus delivering real value and recreating that human touch lost in modern banking. Ajman Bank, with strong support from the UAE government, is the keystone of the emirate's economic development strategy and is committed to becoming a sustainable organization in its truest sense.
