Thank you, mariam-mar.

/Aahh.. so lovely to get straight answers... CBQ charges QR25 per month if your average per month is less than QR3k. Not immediately when the amount in the account drops below 3k. Ie. If my balance drops to 1k and then I shore it up 2 weeks later, if my average is above 3k, I don't get charged. And they have not raised the threshold limit to 8k like HSBC.

//As for the "if you don't agree with the terms, don't open the account" Yes, I agree. It was a mistake on my part to take HSBC on trust based on my past and current good experience with the HSBC in Malaysia. I therefore take responsibility for my own actions (or omission, in this situation) and will rectify that error forthwith.
