AlRayan Bank customers can now submit National Investor Number requests through the bank under an agreement announced by Qatar’s central securities depository, Edaa, on 6 October.
The electronic service covers both new and existing customers and also allows shareholder information held by Edaa to be updated through the bank. Customers do not need to submit a separate request to Edaa, according to its announcement.
A National Investor Number is the starting requirement for individuals seeking to invest in securities listed on Qatar’s capital market. The new arrangement brings that administrative step into the banking relationship customers already use.
Edaa said the agreement is intended to make its services easier to access through partner digital channels. The depository is responsible for registering and safeguarding securities and providing investor services in Qatar.
