Recently I heard that QCB has instructed to reduce the loan interest to 6 % for the new and existing loan holders. Any update on this I am HSBC customer and still they deduct same amount... Any info from when this will effect and it is mandatory to all the Banks ( As i heard from my friend QNB already confirm they reduce the interest therefore loan repayment period has reduce) What a relief if this true????

hi all!! yes the HSBC does not yet adjusted accordingly as of now. i heard from a friend that they will adjust this by this month. so nothing to worry about. I am an HSBC account holder for for the last 8 years now, and as i know the directive of QCB should be followed by all banks as it was mentioned clearly on the newspapers.

I am surprised that you are so INNOCENT

The banks here increase the interest even befor it can be really approved , but when the central bank already decleared reduction of interest officialy , these banks still wait and kill time till they implement as they want to SQUIZE the customers. The rule of the gane is simple: HEADS I WIN & TAILS YOU LOOSE and all this is called fair practice-hahahahahaha

GOD BLESS

It's a new law. But you know how laws are treated in this country. Don't you?
