My experience with QNB was only positive. Of course they are not as efficient as the banks back home, but... QNB is the clearance bank for international transactions, which means they get the money first. In 90% of the cases a transfer made in UK monday morning, was hitting my QNB account Tuesday afternoon.
And also - their ATM and POS always work, unlike the crappy Commercial bank. There was a time in Doha, when Commercial Bank ATM were chewing in ALL Diners Club cards which are not issued by CB. If you'd try to pay with a non-Qatar Diners club card, you'd get a message to the POS owner to withold the card! OUTRAGEOUS!
However customer service at CB is definitely better than at QNB.
