Electronic payment firm QPAY has now established its presence in Qatar following the successful offering of its wide range of solutions across the GCC and foreign markets.

QPAY said that it will launch a low cost and advanced Wages Protection System (WPS) IBAN platform and WPS Salary Card platform in Qatar.

Both products are fully compliant with the Qatar Central Bank’s ( QCB ) directive on WPS payment rules to low-wage immigrant laborers residing in Qatar and the QMLSS Salary Information File (SIF) generation, the company said in a statement.

QPAY’s secure cloud-based WPS IBAN platform, which is successfully implemented in Dubai, Kuwait and the US, enable banks to comply with the latest laws on laborer WPS while streamlining banks’ corporate filing of labor pay with the Qatar Ministry of Labor & Social Services (QMLSS).

The solution will provide the laborer with a Qatari IBAN bank account without having to add extra burden on the bank’s back-office, front office or branch network, the company added.

QPAY solutions have been used in Qatar, GCC and Foreign markets since 2001. They have been offered to banks and financial institutions as white labeled products.
