Bank for expats in Dubai
Hi,
we are looking for a reputable bank in the UAE, good for expats. The bank should be not a US bank and have not branches there (for tax reasons), the best is, if it would be based in Europe but it could be also are very well known UAE bank. It should have accessible branches in Dubai (preferably Marina) and credit card and check services.
Have you heard of Habib bank Zurich and what do you think of it?

Re: Bank for expats in Dubai
I had some initial exploratory dealings with them a couple of years back - a training project for their new grad recruits.............
........ they took so long to come to a decision about what they wanted that by the time they said 'yes' I'd already started on another thing at Dubai Holding........
I'm sure there are better banks out there - some of the locals are OK, and will give you all you need.
