Best consumer bank for expats?

All banks are mostly the same here. However I would avoid HSBC as it has the fewest number of branches out of all the banks and it also does not offer after hours banking whereas all the other major banks have branches that are open in shopping malls until late at night.

I would also suggest you pick the bank that your company uses so that your salary transfers will be faster.

WT is wrong, We are seeing a different pic. at HSBC ............ ........

All banks want only one thing: YOUR money.

All the banks are equally bad/good in service. I don't find any difference.

Go for the HSBC or QNB .......... You will get respect & peace of mind ......

Where will you live

All banks are pretty much the same here .. If you're Indian , then Doha Bank has strong ties to the country

There are some people my pal who write just for the sake of writing. They always jump to be the first and many times the only person to post something at QL.

In Qatar most banks offer very good service to their customers. There appears to be a stiff competition among them. As such it will hardly make much of difference to you which bank you choose to maintain an account. Usually, the preference is for the bank where the company has an account as it facilitates quick transfer of salaries. As for ease of sending money home, people here usually to use the services of money exchange companies and there are several of them here. They can have the money deposited in to your bank account in your country or your people back home can collect it in cash. The option is yours. These exchange companies are preferred over banks because of their convenient timings, better rates, lower service charges, quicker service and also because they operate all days of the week.

Welcome my pal .. We are happy that you are here
