Al-Safa Islamic Banking Services was launched, as a branch of Commercialbank with independent capital ... Commercial Bank of Qatar.

If your salary is greater than QAR10,000, then QNB is your choice. By far it is the prime bank in Qatar. They control almost 50% market share. Go to the West Bay Branch at the Dana Club. They open in the afternoon and less crowded than the City Center or other malls. Second choice will be IBQ.They're getting better and better everyday.

Commercial Bank no way, they have loads of hidden charges which is blood sucking. Doha bank is to some extent fine and so is Mashreqbank.

All the best!
