Hi...

I would like to know whether money exchange comapnies offer better exchnage rate than banks. If so, which exchange company gives better rate.

How much do banks charge for bank to bank transfer?

I believe exchange houses offer the best rates compared to banks. I have been routinely sending thru Al fardan and if negotiated properly( provided u have a big amount) they give very attractive rates

Exchange houses do offer a better rate than banks...also you can negotiate a somewhat better rate depending on the amount to be transferred. You can check with AlFardan or Al Mana exchange ...the charges would be QR10 and QR15 respectively for a single transfer of upto Rs. 10 lakhs i.e approx QR 70,000/-

any two or three of your area to find out which is best for you.

Al Fardan, Doha Ex, Eastern Ex are good for me.
