Barclays has Authorisation to open a branch in the Qatar Financial Centre and will be located in the QFC Tower in West Bay, opposite City Center. It will not however be a full service branch--its activities will be limited to arranging and advising and it is not permitted to deal with retail customers. It is not yet open for business.

hi there. i doubt it because we have looked around and found none-your next best bet of an international bank is HSBC, which is quite prominent and visible here.

good luck

Barclays is registerd in QFC. Banks registered with QFC cannot do retail banking and are restricted only to investment and corporate banking activities.
