Flithy Lucre us expatriates earn and how 2 send it home.

Hola!
Want to send money to my bank account standing order style via my wages.
I've heard 2 many horror stories, people getting fleeced by the banks in Qatar / being charged everytime you send part of your wages home, etc.
Is there a bank in Qatar that you pay an initial setting up fee and then off you go without having to pay more?
Thanking you in advance,
In Wenger I trust.
Hi,
Commission is only part of your costs on transferring money. Banks' exchange rates are bad, you need to consider this as well.

bank drafts - you can even buy it at night time.
Thanks for replying, guys.
Been out and about the banks today & QNB are in the lead via their 'do it on the internet and it's only 40 Riyals'.
Must hunt down a Doha Bank, they allow you to open an account online but want one to one before I throw my lot in with them.
Will look into bank drafts as well, good idea.

TT = Telegraphi Transfers. why don't you send a Bank draft instead QR 5 only.
sometime they call it telex charges. standard charge by all bank in the world - only the fee are varied. do not worry much, if yo happen to find any bank that offered this service FOC, pls advise immediatly : )
cost us QR 35 in Doha bank, Barclay Bank in the UK charging 6 pound receiving it.
Don't think so- you have to pay for what it costs. Transfer fees are quite low here.
