Annual Debit Card Fee For Commercial Bank.

Yesterday morning i checked my Commercial Bank Account and a fee of Qr 50/- was deducted from my account as an Annual Debit Card Fee For each debit card.
No any other bank is deducting that because of financial crises they are impossing these charges to overcome the loses.
What is you opinion of Deducting that amount from Account without any notification?

I see no problem for paying a nominal fee for using an ATM card. The question regarding not informing you. Well as the postal service here is so slow what other methods are available email or sms, maybe?

Also the CBQ is sponsoring a lot of big events in Qatar so I guess they need the money from somewhere to pay for these events..lol

Better if you call CBQ. My bank which is QNB do not charge me with that of Debit Card Annual Fee. Better switch to QNB.

All the best!

Better we ask CBQ to reverse the entry

i mean to return our QRS. 50.00. While they

have record profit charging QRS. 50.00 looks

very silly....

Its natural banks are strugelling to make profit

due to finacial crisis and they started to steal

customers money. This is not fair you know many

of the labours having ATM and QRs. 50.00 yearly

is a burder for them.

Fee of QR 50 is too high.. Normally every country such debit card is free and come with ATM card (both together). Qatar has no any rule on price check. Poor people suffer here where as business controller/owner (most Shaikhs) twist-turn every rule to suppress and make maximum money they can-look as customer service some big company provides, look at house rent(rocketing), look at salaries (everyday becoming less and less-no basic salary rates, while house rents are almost fixed) and many more...

I called and they said that QR50/- is the annual fee for the ATM Card (Debit Card) we are using.

About the QR25/- monthly, this will be deducted from your account because u fall below the minimum maintaining balance of QR3,000/-

and has deduction of QR100, probably from the credit card balance, i just hope so... and that it's not for an annual fee of a DEBIT card.

ya believe they should have informed all of their customers before deducting this much money from the accounts of the clients.

just imagine that how many accounts they will be having with them and just multiply it with Qr.50 .

1,00,000 x 50 = Qr.5,00,000/

and they have far more clients as per my judgment.

now may be one day they will add the expense of ATM card also if we use it in any other Bank ATM.i came to know that for each transaction the banks change Qr.2 to the Bank who's card is it.

so prepare ur self may be this expense will also come to us.

Same happened with me, is it bank or pocket picker? If somebody take out your money without your knowledge what might be the proper word for the action?

as they are stuck till neck in credit spree they need to induce such fee for their day to day operation cost.

debit cards are normally issued at no charges, if yours get damaged and u requested a reissue before expiry date .. they charge around 50 or 100 riyals

is it your case?

if not, thats really bad .. u might need to write them a complain comparing their charges to other banks
