There's almost no interests (max 0.5-1% pa) in any bank for current/savings accounts, except fixed deposit.
I have used NBD Gold Payroll Account for years without problem, and have been using their Internet Banking services for monthly bill payments. no minimum balance, no fee, cheque book, internet banking, free gold credit cards for life.

Mashreq gives loan easier than other banks. My employer was able to take a loan only in Mashreq. If you want a car in credit you should speak with a few banks first about the loan and only after that transfer your salary there.
Many banks like Emirates looked at your nationality first and then on your salary...

I also have accounts there but there are some limitations for minimum salary you earn and loans. If somebody had good salary it would be Ok for him.

With my personal experience, I found RAKBANK one of the most reliable bank when compared to other banks like HSBC. I would like to share one my experience. With one of the HSBC Credit card, I was promised Marhaba lounge facility but at the point of check in at the airport, they told me you don't have eligibility for it. This is absolutely not happening.
After which, I had opened a RAKBANK account. They have very good customer service, excellent credit card benefits. Rakbank is very prompt in coming up with new ideas which are really interesting. Just for your help, you can check more information on http://rakbank.ae/wps/portal/home

I will recommend ADCB for any types of banking services including personal, business, investment, expats, loans, etc. I am using ADCB's asset management service for my investments and banking need. They offer best service with their professional and expert team in UAE.

As I’m staying in Abu Dhabi and I have an account with ADCB. It offers convenient banking services along with hassle free salary transfer service.
