QNB is Qatar's largest bank and the default for Doha-based freelancers, creative-economy contractors, and remote workers paid in QAR. Pull client payments out of your QNB PDF in seconds.
Convert your QNB statementQatar's freelance market grew significantly after the 2022 World Cup as the creative economy, media production, and consulting sectors expanded. Many of those freelancers bank at QNB — the country's largest bank, majority-owned by the Qatar Investment Authority, and the default holder of government-sector and corporate accounts. If you invoice in QAR, your client likely sends a NAPS transfer to a QNB account.
Qatar has no personal income tax, so the export is rarely about tax filing. It is about client reconciliation, SME licensing renewal, and lender requests. NAPS transfers carry the sender's name in Arabic. International wires arrive labelled 'حوالة دولية واردة' with the SWIFT BIC of the originating bank. A clean Excel makes both readable side by side instead of squashing them into one paragraph of Arabic in a PDF cell.
QNB issues a high-quality text-layer PDF with bilingual Arabic-English columns and dates in DD/MM/YYYY. The standard column order is Date, Value Date, Description (bilingual), Debit, Credit, QAR Balance. The balance column updates after every row, which makes reconciliation against your invoice list straightforward. Account header shows IBAN, account type, statement period, and customer segment.
Domestic transfers from Qatari clients appear as 'تحويل NAPS' or 'تحويل محلي' with the sender bank's reference. International client payments — common for freelancers with regional clients across the GCC, Europe, or the US — arrive as SWIFT credits with full BIC and beneficiary detail in the narration. QAR balances can run into 10+ digit figures; basic parsers sometimes misread these, but Kashfbank preserves them exactly.
Even without income tax, freelancers in Qatar need a clean transaction list for three things: SME or self-employment licence renewal under the Ministry of Commerce, lender requests when applying for personal finance, and client reconciliation for monthly invoicing.
High-quality text-layer PDF with QNB Group branding. Bilingual Arabic-English. QAR balance column updates with each transaction. Account header: IBAN, account type, statement period, customer segment. Q-Pay and NAPS references appear for domestic transfers. SWIFT references for international.

Upload your QNB PDF
Open the QNB Mobile Banking app, request a 12-month statement (or the period your accountant or lender asked for), and download the PDF. Drop it into Kashfbank. The bilingual AR+EN layout is read natively. No conversion or pre-processing needed.
Verify the period and currency
Confirm the date range matches what you need. QNB accounts in Qatar are QAR-denominated by default. If you hold a foreign-currency sub-account at QNB, each currency exports as its own row group with the original amount preserved.
Filter to client payments only
Sort by Category to keep 'International Wire' and 'NAPS / Domestic Transfer' incoming rows. Drop card payments, ATM withdrawals, and any salary credits. What remains is your gross freelance income across QAR domestic clients and international wires.
Export to Excel or CSV
Download the filtered sheet with standard Date, Description, Debit, Credit, Balance, Category columns. Use it for client reconciliation, send it with your licence renewal paperwork, or hand it to a lender for a personal-finance application.
Common challenges
Does Kashfbank handle QNB statements from accounts opened at QNB subsidiaries outside Qatar?
The Qatar-issued QNB statement is what Kashfbank is built around. QNB Egypt (QNB AlAhli) and former QNB France entities issue statements in local currencies and slightly different formats — those are processed as separate bank entries. Confirm the issuing country before uploading so the right format is applied.
I do not pay income tax in Qatar. Why convert my statement at all?
For SME or self-employment licence renewals at the Ministry of Commerce, for personal-finance applications at QNB or another lender, and to keep a clean monthly record of client payments versus expenses. Tax is not the only use case — most freelancers convert quarterly for their own bookkeeping.
QNB sometimes prints large QAR amounts that look mis-aligned in the PDF. Does Kashfbank handle that?
Yes. QAR is pegged at 3.64 to the USD, so corporate-side amounts can run to 10+ digits. Kashfbank handles long numeric fields correctly and does not truncate. Each amount is preserved exactly as it appears in the source row.
How does Kashfbank distinguish a NAPS transfer from a SWIFT international wire?
NAPS / Q-Pay transfers carry a domestic reference and the sender bank's name in Arabic. SWIFT wires include the originating bank's BIC and full beneficiary detail. Both are tagged separately in the Category column so you can sort domestic versus international client income at a glance.
