Customers will be able to apply for a Vodafone Money Transfer (VMT) account from Vodafone Qatar in order to avail themselves of the service. After the registration customers can load money onto their mobile phone from Doha Bank e-branches or directly via a bank transfer.
With digital money on their VMT accounts customers can initiate local or abroad transfer or use these funds to pay for goods and services at local shops. Until e-money is transferred or spent it is stored for customers with Doha Bank, meaning they can also have the option to get it back as cash.
The service will be tested over the next few months to gain Qatar Central Bank approval prior to a commercial launch.
