Participants on HEC Paris in Qatar’s Strategic Masters and Executive MBA programmes were treated to a tour of different banking departments at Commercial Bank Plaza, including Treasury, Private Banking and Wholesale Banking. To reflect Commercial Bank’s full service capabilities, the role of each department was explained to the students together with the wide range of banking products and services offered to clients.

The tour is part of a strategic relationship between Commercial Bank, one of the leading full service banks in Qatar, and HEC Paris in Qatar, a member of Qatar Foundation and the leading hub for executive education worldwide.
