Banking for expats

Can anyone tell me about the banking options in QTR. Do employers have salaries paid into local banks or can salaries be paid direct in Europe?

Another question: we have been told that we need a credit card for car hire. I don't have one:(

Would a normal British Maestro card work?

Thanks

You could always TT your salary from HSBC Qatar to its operation elsewhere.

If you are a preimer customer, you could even transfer salary from your HSBC Qatar a/c to your HSBC UK a/c free of charge, given that both a/c have the same hold name. That's the only good thing about HSBC Qatar that really benefits customers.

I'm with HSBC here in Wales. I went to see them about coming over there and they said that even if I banked with HSBC there, they couldn't transfer money into my UK account. Is this right?

Salaries are paid in Local Bank but if your company is overseas they might pay in direct to Europe but then how are you going to live here without money
