Dear Customer,
As part of their efforts to safeguard the financial and banking system, Qatar Central Bank (QCB) has issued directives (Circular number 6/2018) on the risks of dealing with Bitcoins due to its price fluctuation, and the possibility of being used in financial crimes and e-hacking, and has therefore restricted dealing with Bitcoins.
Based on this Circular, we hereby advise you that you should not be executing any transaction in relation with Bitcoins, or exchanging Bitcoins with any currency or send or receive money transfers to sell or purchase Bitcoins. Any transactions suspected by the bank to be related to dealing with Bitcoins will be rejected.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to raise them with a member of staff at your nearest branch.
