Best Bank in Dubai May 19, 2008
After a terrible time with standard chartered I am closing my account out of pure spite. Has anyone had a good easy experience with banks here? Which banks are the best?

There will be good to get answers on your question. And for clear result
you should specify what you looking for - credit, deposit, debet?

Thanks arnie, I'll check out lloyds, DS I have also heard good things about emirates. Navigator, for clarification, I only need checking and a loan. I think it would be useful for everyone to rate the banks they have used and the service in each department.

I can tell you right now that with standard chartered, you not only get a checking account but they give you high blood pressure and grey hair free of charge! I really think "retarded" is a required qualification to work there. I have nothing good to say about them.

Arniegang -
ARE YOU KIDDING ?????

TSB may well be a good bank in other countries, but they are just as muppet-like in DB !

I could give you a few examples, but just suffice to say that lost cards, messages never passed onto the right people, awful customer service, repeated requests for info ignored and even a loan taken out in my name without my agreement !!!!!!!!

I've started with Blays here in AD.

Fingers crossed...........

Couldnt agree more. The greater your balance, the more service you get.
