Qatar Central Securities Depository, known as Edaa, said it signed a cooperation agreement with AlRayan Bank on 6 October 2026. Edaa described AlRayan as the first bank in Qatar to let customers submit requests for a National Investor Number (NIN) and update shareholder information with Edaa through the bank’s dedicated electronic system.
Edaa says both new and existing AlRayan customers can complete the NIN step through the bank without making a separate request to Edaa. The depository describes the NIN as the first step for individuals seeking to invest in securities listed on Qatar’s capital market. The announcement gives no user totals, processing-time data or measured change in market participation.
