DISCRIMINATION - HSBC bank
Recently after trying a few Money Exchange outlets I decided to head for the horses mouth HSBC (a British Bank !!)
Ah ah, big mistake - the purpose of all these visits was to change GBP 60 into local currency, QAR.
The trouble my money was issued by ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND !!! and HSBC will not accept these notes, even though they ARE legal tender and come under BANK OF ENGLAND umbrella.
I though the recent referendum voted to stay within United Kingdom, or have HSBC decided otherwise.
Maybe if I asked them to launder 2 million pounds to avoid taxation they may have been more helpful !!
Anyway any Scots going back to UK willing to exchange 60 (3x20) Bank of Scotland noted for 300 SAR??

Got it right. Thanks MM.
De, It was known as British Bank of the Middle East earlier ..... people used to call it British Bank ............. .....................
I thought HSBC stands for Hongkong Shanghai Banking Co. Never knew it is a British bank.
none of the exchanges accept as well (from my personal experience). Same experience as when you try to buy stuff in any corner shop in England using scottish issued notes.
This reflectfs very bad on HSBC officials.
