The same happened to me. I called them and the reply what you received I was given the same reply. Although they intimated me the new procedure, but it cannot be implemented until I personally visit any of their ATM machines in Pakistan. The only remedy at the moment is, if you have phone banking facility, then you can have your balance checked on phone. Since I have phone banking facility, so worry little reduced. |

I have the better experience of UBL even you can open new account, Pak rupees or Dollars and can buy National saving Bonds staying abroad, I am in UAE don't know about UK or US, HBL Limited have only one Branch here and usually not cooperative in this sort of activities |

I was having two million in my account when I visited Pakistan last year. When I wanted to withdraw by cheque Bank asked me to provide the signature of my partner (not my wife) as secondary authority which I never had in my life. One ATM was also issued to him. It was sole account only under my name. I asked the manager and a scene was created. Then they ran here and there checking all records. In end they said sorry.
What would happens if I lost my money. Still I can can not believe what bank was trying to do with my account. GOD KNOWS.
Anyhow I withdraw all my money from HBL. |

@khan
ago i calledWhen was it that you activated your internet banking with HBL ! A month ago i called the HBL, Mall branch and enquired about my balance They took a while and told me my balance.I asked the gentleman whether do they have internet banking, so that i should not bother you next time when i have to enquire about my balance. He said that at the moment they dont have this facility and i can always call him and enquire if needed.I just asked him that why is it that we take too much a time to catch up with the rest of the world. He tried to defend his position by saying that it is not that simple to tie up around 1500 branches into a network overnight. |

I faced same problems with Askri and MCB banks.
I have FC A/C with Askri and actived intenet banking. I forgot my Passwrod and asked for its recovery but they refused. I went Pakistan, filled the form for new internet login and failed to get it with in one month(vacation period).
Now i shifted to SAMBA Pakistan. Just go to Pak.samba.com and register by entering your ATM No. You can recover your PW and add/delete beneficiary easily. |

Atleast no problems with passwords and these kind of basics.

I am currently banking with Standard Chartered Bank. I have experienced really bad service before from MCB and average service from Bank Alfalah. I find Standard Chartered has excellent service and are always very quick and willing to help.
There Internet banking is extremely good. You can not only transfer money to other accounts in there bank but to accounts in other banks as well using online banking. I always get excellent service and support whenever I have called them. |
