SABB - useless!!

Paid my salary cheque in on 30 October, STILL waiting for a bank card, so I cannot do Internet Banking etc.
And I bank with HSBC in Blighty.
SABB are USELESS and INCOMPETENT and INDIFFERENT - don't go to them.

Opened with HSBC AD in Sept and no complaints so far. Received all cards within a week and online banking/global transfers working a treat. Still early days but.... touch wood.... off to a good start.

we have been with them 8 years and so far so good, the odd glitch but they have always managed to sort it out. I will praise them now but if they turn down our loan application on Tuesday I will not be happy :(

Rather odd seeing this as part of my talk tomorrow evening will be able how International banks in the UAE/GCC are franchises...

Always better to bank offshore as an expat in the GCC.

The event was about Wills, Estate Planning and Taxation but I gave a short overview of basic Financial Planning for expats which included why people shouldn't keep too much money in the GCC...
