Depending on your home bank, most banks use an intermediary bank for the transfer. This intermediary bank often takes a USD15 fee, so your resulting deposit will be about USD15 lighter than expected. This has been my experience in the UAE using UAE Exchange.

when I enquired, one of the money exchanges told me that the charge is QR100 for transfer money to UK. So, I started using QNB. They charge 15QR+some 7 pound deduction I see at the receiving end, I could not get a satisfactory answer to this from the bank till now.

I thought that the USD->QAR exchange rate is pegged at a constant value. Is it true?

A QR15 transfer fee regardless of the amount is very good. Does QNB give a good exchange rate for QR to USD? In the UAE, I've been happy with UAE Exchange. I know there are some branches in Qatar and believe they are called UAE-Qatar Exchange. But QNB sounds better and other people on Qatar Living are recommending them for everyday banking.

depending on how much u are sending, QNB I find is cheap if you have an account with them. no matter how much you send, it costs QR15
