QNB brand was among the world’s top 500 banking brands for the second consecutive year, a further accolade to QNB Group’s prominent role and outstanding performance in the MENA region.
The ranking revealed that out of five MENA banking brands on the list, only QNB Group’s brand had achieved gains in its value.
QNB’s brand value rose to $ 1.31 billion in 2013, up from $ 1.26 billion in 2012.
The value assessment process of banking brands on Brand Finance’s ranking depends on strict standards, taking into account the bank’s size, geographical presence, global and regional reputation, and its brand’s classification.
QNB Group’s brand is classified as an AA brand.
This classification differs from ratings issued by credit rating agencies as Brand Finance classification represents the health and future growth potentials of the brand based on the brand’s value and other indicators.
In recognition of QNB Group’s distinguished performance, the Bank was listed among the world’s safest 50 banks.
Currently, QNB Group has expanded its international presence to 24 countries, while its branches, subsidiaries and associate companies employ over 8,800 staff, offering services through almost 400 branches and offices along with an ATM network that exceeds 800 machines.
