I have also done bank drafts and statement stamping at branches that do not hold my account.

As for loans, I cannot stress enough to people to read the fine print. Banks arent charities and are looking to make as much money as possible. Any bank in Doha will give you a hard time when you want to switch over loans as they are loosing capital. I liked Doha banks loan scheme as you have a lot of options and you can buy out your loan at current cost anytime.
