It is the worst bank in Doha. They took 10 days last month to transfer money to my CBQ credit card, by which time it was late and I got penalties. It should take 2 days. I complained and they said it was 'Dubai'. This month I transferred it 20 days early to be safe, then unfortunately went on holiday. When I returned I found they had reversed the transaction the day after I'd done the transfer - for no reason, as I had enough money in my account. They were able to offer no explanation and just said 'sorry. So again I had penalties to pay. Then last week I transfeered some money to an HSBC account in the UK. I did it from the Commercial Bank (arrived in my HSBC UK account the SAME DAY!). The HSBC to HSBC transfer took 4 days. Again they said it was 'Dubai'.

If I didn't have a car loan with them I would have transferred my salary to the Commercial Bank. I can't wait to get shot of them!
