Under Regulatory Review

Tamkeen Network

A Qatar-based financial infrastructure platform designed to operate a unified ATM network layer, with centralized operations, NAPS-based routing, and regulatory visibility.

Tamkeen ATMs Systems W.L.L. is currently progressing through regulatory review with Qatar Central Bank. The platform is structured as a non-custodial infrastructure operator — not a bank, issuer, lender, or customer account provider.
About Tamkeen Network

Infrastructure behind a unified national ATM operating model.

Tamkeen Network is structured as a foundational infrastructure layer within Qatar’s financial ecosystem. The platform introduces a unified operational model for ATM services, enabling centralized routing, standardized operations, and system-wide coordination across participating institutions.

Current Stage

Tamkeen is being prepared for a controlled deployment phase, beginning with ATM withdrawal services and progressing in alignment with regulatory requirements, sponsor bank arrangements, technology readiness, and operational governance.

Core Capabilities

Centralized, controlled, and infrastructure-grade.

The Tamkeen model focuses on operational execution, transaction routing coordination, real-time network visibility, and audit-ready controls while preserving the role of licensed banks in authorization, settlement, and customer ownership.

01

Unified ATM Network

A shared operational layer for ATM infrastructure, location coverage, service standards, and network availability.

02

NAPS-Based Routing

Transaction routing designed around Qatar’s national payment infrastructure through licensed sponsor bank arrangements.

03

Central Monitoring

Network-level visibility, incident tracking, reconciliation support, and operational reporting aligned with regulatory expectations.

Governance Structure

Clear role separation across the ATM ecosystem.

Tamkeen’s operating model is designed to preserve regulatory clarity, banking authority, and operational accountability. Tamkeen does not hold customer deposits, issue cards, extend credit, or perform independent settlement.

Regulatory Alignment

Designed to operate within Qatar’s existing financial architecture.

The current model is intentionally limited and controlled: no custody of customer funds, no customer accounts, no lending activity, and no independent settlement authority. Authorization remains with issuing banks, and settlement remains within the licensed banking system.

Regulatory Status

Tamkeen ATMs Systems W.L.L. is under regulatory review with Qatar Central Bank. Any commercial launch, operational activation, or public service deployment remains subject to applicable regulatory approvals and final arrangements with licensed ecosystem participants.
