IBQ is the Worst and The Worst is IBQ...

In A.P branch the personal banker is very stupid...

we went there to settle our car loan and request for a clearance letter...after 3 days we checked if the clearance is available, they said there is no balance in the account to get the charge of clearance so they didn't proceed w/ the letter... the stupid P.B didn't include the the charges for the letter... how are we supposed to know if there is balance in the account( it is a loan account and there's no other way to know the balance but thru their P.B.) so we deposited money for the charge and from there according to them we have to wait for another 3 working days, so we waited...on the 8th day we went there to get it again the P.B said it is not yet ready... for just clearance letter we have waited for more than a week? what kind of customer service is that?! plus they don't know how to apologize for their mistake and their famous line is "we cannot do anything"... i feel sorry for this bank for having such a stupid & lazy staff

The best will be DOHA Bank and the WORST is QNB (Qatar national Bank)

I have experience with QNB, CBQ, Ahli Bank and Doha Bank. Doha is the best. Nice customer service, variety of products. Go to www.dohabank.com.qa or call their customer services number 4456000 to make sure. I found CBQ is the worst and funny in the above mentioned bank. Why it's funny? Becasue sometimes you will find there is no money in their ATM.

One day I tried to withdraw QR. 3000, but I didn't get any money. On the other hand QR. 3000 has been debited from my account. However I got this money after 5 days to my account. My opinion only for local bank. In foreign bank, HSBC is the best.

hi guys hows QNB?

hows their fecilities??

although I am in process of opening an account here, I have nothing but praise for the CSRs at HSBC.

I have been dealing with them in Dubai for some time and found them indifferent.

BUT i had a query about the possiblity of tranferring a loan across to Qatar. I called the mobile listed for the main guy in loans/accounts in Doha.

He called me back within five minutes. I told him my query. He knew precisely what I should do, gave me advice, then called HSBC here to ensure there was a letter of recommendation ready for me when I moved across.

Excellent customer service, friendly and efficient.

Hope it continues!

why? because of their aggressive/significant boost for the past few years. Great products! Credit Cards promotion is d best compared to other banks, no monthly/yearly membership for life. Interest for different loans is much much lower compared to others! Increasing number of branches and ATMs....

Live Life To The Fullest.......................

Quality cant be rated....

CBQ is a terrible bank. I tell you that I have been cheated by them. I took a car loan in 2005, agreed with them to pay certain installments (interest included) for 60 months, they have decided to increase their interest (from 7.1% to 11.2%) & decided to extend the period for more than 60 months without even informing me. Now most of their managers, and even their 'call center' is refusing to answer or reply my messages because they don't feel like recognizing the way they cheated me...professionally.

Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing,

there is a field…I’ll meet you there

When the soul lies down in that grass

the world is too full to talk about

I believe International Islamic is the worst bank in Qatar. You can convince it by visiting their web site (http://www.qiib.com.qa) which is under construction from the beginning.

Also no personal loan; no internet banking and monthly cut for no minimum balance is 20 QR !

I would go with HSBC here in Doha for one main reason : They do definitely answer your calls or will atleast forward you to the rite person without tossing you around the whole office...

The CSR's are extremely helpful and my experience with them has been great.

Doha bank is good for electronic transactions..Online and Telephone Banking...and has some good products...

Its over the counter services leave a lot to be desired though..

No Doubt,

Commercial Bank of Qatar is the best.

I found people to be very efficient.

My papers to open the account were send to them by company and I called to check up on the progress, person from CBQ was very helpfull and I asked him that i want credit card also, he voluntered to come to my office and get the forms signed, he showed up in couple of hours and thats that.

Will get my credit card in 3 working days.

Thats good customer service, I am impressed.
