I know maybe it's not even worth it to allocate this question in a separate Topic..

but just want to know your opinion:while choosing between these two, which one is preferable: IQB or Standard Chartered?

Standard chartered is not what it used to be.. its a haven for blue collared workers now, i cant comprehend their shift in focus. 

 

If salary transfer is your option, there was an ad in the paper about commerical bank offering a free gift, and some other freebies immediately on transferring your salary to them. 

 

But back to where i started, its sad to see HSBC and Standard Chartered losing out on their core competencies and catering to lower end of the customer segments.

Doha Bank - awful dreadful

IBQ- so far so good

QNB - fine except the witch in The Mall branch

HSBC - took a picture of their corniche branch getting demolished... best answer for them.

I had a strange experience here. I am from India, and came here one month back. I checked all banks out here,and found Commercial bank is offering an account in India with a famous bank, so I can transfer my savings to Indian bank. They said it will be opened in 3 days after the CB account gets activated. I was on cloud nine and went ahead opening an account. Finally they asked me to produce 6 months of statement of Commercial bank. They sould have told this when I was opening that account, I would have searched for another best bank which can offer better facilities. I am slowly getting the pulse of Doha.

any problems with them... I like the service I get and the banks are hardly ever full.
