HSBC Qatar. However, kindly be advised that if you are not
a Qatar resident, you may only apply for a Non-Resident Savings Account

policy of the Bank in Qatar, regulatory compliance and discretion of the
Bank). These accounts will provide you with the following facilities:

 Sending and Receiving International Transfers (For the Savings Account
only)

Should you wish to open a Savings Account, a minimum monthly balance of
QAR 5,000 (USD, GBP, EURO 4,000/-) should be maintained, otherwise a
service charge of QAR 25 (or equiv in USD, EURO, GBP) per month will be

However, a Term Deposit Account requires an opening balance of Qar
20,000 (USD,GBP 10,000/- , EURO 25,000/-) and attracts competitive
interest rates. The maturity tenure varies between 1,2,3,6 months or 1
