In addition to competitive interest rates, customers will automatically be entered into a draw to win 500,000 Life Reward points when they take a personal, vehicle, or mortgage loan or a vehicle lease, activate and use their new Life Rewards credit card, or transfer their salaries to QNB during the campaign which runs through August 31.
Customers can use their points to travel, buy electronics, pay bills, or donate them to an approved charitable organisation.
