DOHA: Ooredoo and QNB yesterday launched the region’s first-ever payroll service on Ooredoo Mobile Money. With the Payroll service, companies in Qatar will be able to pay workers’ salaries directly to employees’ Mobile Money accounts, providing a safe, convenient and immediate channel for payments.
QNB and Ooredoo will begin to provide Payroll via the Ooredoo Mobile Money Service in December for selected companies and roll-out the service across Qatar in 2015.
The launch of Payroll services on Ooredoo Mobile Money will address a range of important social issues, ensuring that employees are paid directly and reducing concerns relating to payments by cash and cheques, particularly for migrant workers.
Employees will be able to see immediately when payments have been made, and be able to transfer the money quickly and safely, all via their mobile phone.
“Ooredoo Mobile Money has provided an important service for the under-banked in Qatar and around the world, and the addition of the Payroll option provides an important new service for businesses and for employees.
