Banking questions
Hi all,
I'm planning on moving to Saudi next year and had a few questions about banking.
Is it better to have a Saudi account or an off-shore account?
Also, is it possible to have regular bank statements?
Any recommendations?
Thank you

Re: Banking questions
depends what your employer pays into. The majority require a Saudi account to pay into. With no bank account, it's hard to do most day to day things.
Off-shore? Which shore? Very much doubt an employer would pay into one of those.
Regular bank statements? The paper kind? You get statements online just like in the UK.
I use SABB and find it to be the best of a bad lot. If your salary is over (I think) 30K SAR a month, you can get a Premier account which allows you to jump queues which is very useful.
