Payments that you make to Qatar via Moneycorp arrive within 1-2 working days, and you can view your full transaction history and track your payments online. Large money transfers do not take longer to arrive than smaller transfers, and so your money will arrive on time, regardless of how much money you wish to send.

We offer fee-free online international transfers to Qatar, which means that you’ll benefit from our competitive exchange rates without having to worry about any additional costs. You will only incur fees when making online money transfers if you decide to automate your recurring payments with a Regular Payment Plan. Over-the-phone transfers to Qatar cost a flat rate of £15.

You’ll need to provide us with the following information in order to send money to Qatar, in addition to documentation that supports your stated reasons for making a payment.

• The account holder’s full name and address
• The recipient’s account number
• The recipient’s BIC/SWIFT code or IBAN
• If you are making a personal payment: Photographic ID of the recipient and a copy of the recipient’s bank statement that is less than three months old, with proof of address
• If you are transferring funds into your own Qatari account: A bank statement from the recipient account that is less than three months old
• If you are making a business payment: An invoice with the supplier’s name and address

These final three items can be sent in PDF form or as clear scans to privateclientservices@moneycorp.com if you wish to make a personal payment, or to clientservices@moneycorp.com if you wish to make a business payment. If you have any questions regarding a personal payment that you’d like to make to Qatar, call our team on 0207 589 3000. Please call 0207 823 7878 regarding business payments.

Read our in-depth guide for more information regarding BIC/SWIFT codes and IBANs.

All bank accounts in Qatar are assigned an International Bank Account Number, or IBAN. This is an alphanumeric code that allows financial institutions to process international payments. IBANs in Qatar are 29 digits long and consist of a two-letter ISO Country Code (QA), two check digits and a Basic Bank Account Number (BBAN). The BBAN is 25 characters in length, and it is made up of four characters from the SWIFT/BIC code and the bank account number, which is 21 characters.

Example of a Qatari IBAN in print format:

QA58 ABCD 1234 5678 9012 3456 7890 1

There is an upper limit of £100,000 on personal transfers that can be made through our online platform to Qatar. Transfers made over the phone, on the other hand, have no upper limit, and so you will need to contact your Moneycorp account manager by telephone to make larger payments from the UK to Qatar.

We can help you make payments to most of the major banks in Qatar, including but not limited to:

• Qatar National Bank (QNB)

It does not necessarily mean that we’ll be unable to facilitate your payment if the bank in question is not included on the above list. Speak to one of our specialists today to find out if we can assist you.
