Make a formal complaint to the Qatar Central Bank and send a copy of the letter to HSBC so that they know about it.

There will be a "privacy policy" or info disclosure policy - you can check in their website and there they might have given details of what information will be shared to third parties n other stuff. "Fine prints - Most of us might have clicked " i agree" w/o reading all those stuffs.

it depends on who this "third party" is. If it is a Revenue agency from your country which is monitoring income of the citizens aboard, i think it became legal lately.. no more :tax heaven" any more, everyone has to declare all his/her income.

If this is not connected to the Income Tax monitoring, it supoose to be considered as a crime i guess...

That was a very serious mistake they've done, go to the manager and complain about it with all the proofs if you have it.

I deal with this bank as part of my work. I think they are NOT professional, their customer service skills is so bad.
