Gulf Times, 13 April 2025: Qatar Central Bank (QCB) has introduced a ‘Multiple Wallets per Mobile Number’ feature to the Qatar Mobile Payment system.

The feature allows users to have multiple wallets linked to a single mobile number. This initiative aligns with the Third Financial Sector Strategy and is part of QCB’s efforts to improve mobile payment services in Qatar. The feature enables users to open two wallets with different payment service providers using the same mobile number, providing them with enhanced flexibility and control over their financial transactions. Users can designate a default account for receiving all incoming transfers and have the flexibility to manage and change the default account as needed. The introduction of this feature is expected to support innovation among payment service providers, and support financial inclusion in Qatar.
