Beware of Commercial Bank!!

CBQ increased the limit of the minimum amount which should be in the customers' accounts to QR 2500. That means that if in any day of the month your deposit will be under this, you will be charged QR 25 for that month! The funniest part is that this is happening from July, and they didn't even bother to inform the customers!! When I have called the customer service to ask them why has been deducted from my account from July every month QR 25, they informed me that they have changed the limit! And when I asked why the customers were not informed, they replied "Apologize, mam!" ... Apologize for stealing our money??

this is something that should be stopped and the law makers should take immediate step to protect customer's right.

it has to be beware of all banks. every bank is acting stupid these days, if you are late one day for your payment, they are calling you every 10 minutes, even at night or Fridays; and when u have balance in your account they are taking the money even if your payment is not due, and their reply is the same , we appologize its the system, we cant do anything. i have a more funny incident. i have an installement for 991Qrs. one time they took it twice and they have to return it they said sorry it is by mistake the system, i said ok no problem pls return it. next day i saw an addition of 911Qrs. only i was asking why is it like this, can u imagine what was the reason. (((( by mistake the emp. who is entering the transaction put 911 instead of 991)))) can u believe it.... it seems their system is an employee..

lol..."apologize mam"...

All banks are like that...the other day at QNB I filled out a withdrawl slip, but the lady gave me a 'counter-cheque' to fill out saying withdrawl slip is not acceptable... later when I check my account QR10 is deducted for this 'counter-cheque'...

If withdarwl slip is not acceptable why is it kept there or available there in first place...

CBQ are NUTS!!! How they can expect from an expat to keep Qr2500 in his/her account? Mine is always zero balance but i have to feed them Qr25/month.
