i hate HSBC!!!!
argh! i've totally had it with HSBC in the UAE - they are hopeless - still pay standing orders despite having been cancelled, never follow up when you raise a complaint and you cant get your money back!!! Plus ive still not been contacted about fraud on my card in early December. I have never had such bad service ever......
i really, really want to move my current account, but i need recommendations if any of the Dubai banks are better?

Re: i hate HSBC!!!!
I wrote out a check the other day for my maids cleaning company...it came back from the bank saying it had been altered, but it wasn't...so took it to Lloyds, had a million people look at it and they all couldn't see what the problem was, the only thing they could come up with was that the computer probably couldn't read my handwriting, which is a bit weird cause I have been writing similar cheques for 4 years...so I still ended up paying the 100 dsh 'fine' the cleaning company charges for this...

Get yourself a good, reliable offshore bank for things like standing orders etc. You'll also have more protection and security (if you die, run someone over, have a nasty sponsor etc your local accounts can be frozen with ease!)
If you PM me I can recommend one or two myself.

All Dubai banks are franchises...even the better ones are literally decades behind other countries.

Re: i hate HSBC!!!!
I'm with HSBC here and agree that they are useless sometimes but I weigh that against the convinience of access to a 'local' bank.
Admittedley my account is basic.....i.e salary in & cash machine and cc payment out - so it ain't too complicated a process....(you'd think).
On the upside they do pay 5.3% on my loose change as well so not all bad
