Hi ti all QL's,

What bank you are using? and why?

Are you using this bank just because it has an affiliate at home?

Sheabi, the reason behind it, is that most people in QL have very low income, hence everytime a bank will take them a penny even a very justified one for a rendered service they will call them robbers...Also bank may not have the same level of service if you earn 2000 or 25000...

I would advise you to find a the right branch and the right customer service agent, and stick to him to build a relationship. Because like everywhere you got some lazy people and you want to avoid them.

I don't know if it is the high competition? or No competition??

Is there any review issued by Central Bank? or any magazine ??

Is there any benchmark based on customer feedback??

When I searched QL there are so many disappointed and negative feedback from from bank clients I don't see the reasons behind it??

Regards,

That's new way of description for the Bank's...

I am planing to do the same, let the company deposit the salary in the bank account and I will ignore it for some time ;)

Cheers...

MoltenMetal, it depend how you are looking on the subject matter and the point of view, as the if the glass half empty or half full !!!

There are fees for the service, I wish that we don't need banks and you reminded me of old days where we put the gold and the money in bags and bury them in the ground ;)

Good Luck..

Well Arman, nothing is wrong here with banks, I feel they are not up to par with UAE bank in terms of service at least not with the best which is abu dhabi islamic bank, but I have made an extensive review of QIB, IBQ, QNB and CBQ.

I found out that QNB and CBQ are very dynamic, gives you a lot for cheap.

My needs are:

-Free Current account with no minimum balance with 2 debit card

-Good credit card with airport lounge and added benefit

-0% payment plan at good retaillers

-Excellent mobile and internet banking

-Cheap ATM and transfer for abroad...

For the above, QNB and CBQ are the best.

But it really depends on your salary too.

IBQ is not very good. QIB is ridiculous.

I'm surprised to see such feedbacks on Qatar banks... Is there any serious problem with banks here? Please share if any one had a bad experience before. I'm using commercial bank and till now I'm OK with their services.
