Doha Bank is average also, I know 2 guys banking with it and they are ok.

 

HSBC is the worst by far.

I agree IBQ is the best bank by far, I bank with them and with QNB

For IBQ, cash back on the Mastercard will become 2% starting on August, and their supersaving is offering 3%.

 

QNB saving account is at 2% and it is an average bank at best.

No great answer but I bank with IBQ . I do it because I have a Visa Card that gives me Cash Back and a Super Saver Account with Interest and an ATM card for cash withdrawals, and a Personal Banker so I do not have to wait in queues, and opens late twice per week when I need to see them. They also give me free life insurance, and 2 free transfers per month out of the Super Saver Account. And it has Online banking and ATM machines that allow me to deposit cash at all their machines. There are terms and conditions like your salary that you earn which gives you these benefits.So I chose the bank because it ticked off all the boxes in my requirements lists. So if your biggest wish it to have a very cheap car loan and a mortgage then look for a bank that does that. There may also be some that offer Air Miles or have reciprocal agreements with your bank at home ie HSBC.Hope it helps

I advise you to open an account with some new bank like (Barwa - Rayyan) so that you will get better services because recently the old banks (Doha bank - Commercial bank) are always busy (call center) and if you go to the branch there will be a big queue
