Qatar Central Bank Launches Eidiya ATM Service for Eid Al Fitr 2025

The Qatar Central Bank (QCB) has announced that its Eidiya ATM service will be available across the country starting Sunday, March 16, 2025, allowing residents to withdraw Qatari riyals in smaller denominations of QR 5, QR 10, and QR 50-100.

Eidiya, a cherished tradition in Qatari culture, involves giving money to children as a token of joy and celebration during Eid Al Fitr. The practice symbolizes generosity and strengthens family bonds, as elders present the monetary gift to younger relatives during festive gatherings.

To facilitate this tradition, QCB has set up Eidiya ATMs in 10 key locations across Qatar:

Place Vendôme
Mall of Qatar
Al Wakrah Old Souq
Doha Festival City
Al Hazm Mall
Al Mirqab Mall
West Walk
Al Khor Mall
Al Meera - Muaither
Al Meera - Thumama
The initiative reflects QCB’s commitment to preserving cultural heritage while integrating modern banking convenience. By providing easily accessible ATMs with smaller currency denominations, the bank ensures that families can continue this beloved custom effortlessly.

QCB’s Eidiya ATM service has been well received in previous years, offering an efficient way for parents and relatives to withdraw cash and share the joy of Eid with their children. The service will remain operational throughout the Eid Al Fitr holiday, making it easier for families across Qatar to partake in this time-honored tradition.
