This achievement underscores our commitment to supporting Qatar’s financial ecosystem and empowering our clients with seamless, real-time banking experiences”.

The implementation is fortified with robust security standards, including ISO 20022, to safeguard transactional data and enable secure high-value payment capabilities. It also enhances customer service efficiency and the ability to meet the evolving needs of the market in a reliable and scalable approach.

“We are honored to collaborate with AlRayan Bank on the successful integration with QA-RTGS,” said Amjad Zawyani, ProgressSoft Qatar’s Country Manager. “This achievement highlights our shared commitment to innovation and excellence in advancing Qatar’s financial infrastructure.”
