Dear Expats,
I arrived some weeks ago in Qatar.
I went to check with wich bank I prefer to do my business.
Now my employer is saying that they only tranfer my salary to CBQ... I prefer another bank but that bank can not give me any facilities such as CC or maybe car loan for later on.
My question is how or can my employer decide where my salary need to be tranferred??
I think that should be up to me where, same as I decided before with my bank in Dubai.

The company is registered and the banks it's not the problem.(bank already proposed for car loan) It's the employer who refuses to transfer my salary there...

your company must be registered with the bank from where you will avail the loans and stuff. hope you get the Idea! It's of NO USE opening an account in some other banks.

Thanks for the comments so far.

I could open a second acount but that bank would not be able to provide me a car loan or anything else later on since my salary would not be transferred to them. Even do if they could give me better rates/conditions than CBQ.

Stijn my pal...speak kindly to your HR, take the HR Manager to dinner and perhaps they will be accommodating. One comment omitted the "dinner part" which is important to achieve such goals!

This is just laziness on the part of your company. They probably do bulk salary transfer each month and can't be bothered to have indivisuals with other institutions. Also, by having another bank, they may delay your transfer each month.

Best to bite the bullet and open another account somehwere else for normal transactions

Ideally, your sponsor has no right to force you. However, if there is no alternate option then open two bank accounts i.e. One in CBQ for salary transfer and Another in bank of your choice.
