Reccomend me a bank!!

Hello all

Will be moving to Qatar soon.

Could you all advise me which bank you think is best?

I would really like a visa debit facility on my account as I travel a lot with my job.

Other than that just would like a bank that is easy to deal with.

Have been in UAE the last 5 years and found HSBC to be a NIGHTMARE.

Can't believe you are still stuck on that joke.. It was just a joke, get over it..

And of-course I don't have any money, I am always bankrupt.. I can say it the way it is..

If you found HSBC in UAE to be a nightmare then get ready to be further disappointed with the banks here.

QNB is the best among the worst.

Each bank has its own weakness in some area like service in the counter, cards, etc.

You should start in what you feel could give you the basic needs from what people are saying hear.

For me 3rd bank mentioned is not good in the counter services because of very long Que every time... reset pins takes weeks, online services are not that good and you will be harassed via phone calls if you are delayed in monthly dues for credit card...ATM usually run out of paper and money.

I'd go with other banks except this one.

The one on Salwa road is always fast friendly and helpful... all the branches are good... beside having a number of people waiting, haven't waited longer than 15min, unless I require the customer service desks.

I have been with QNB and I have never had a problem... besides the $ rate they offer is better than CBQ. I travel on work too, so that is why the exchange rate makes a diff.
