I opened my account with SAMBA Pakistan which is basically a Saudi American Bank offering best rate compare to others. I am enjoying the best services from them. Operating my account online from abroad. I had account with Standard Chartered but regreted later on due to their poor dealing, since last four years I was trying to get ATM card could not get because we expats are having limited vacation time and the bank procedure is very lengthy and complicated. Go for SAMBA the best.....!!!!!!!!!! |

I am very happy with the service provided by Bank Al-Habib, not habib bank, charge me only 5$ for depositing Dollar check |

I'm the second to recommend BANK-Al HABIB. The staff is so co-operative and friendly.
I'm co-ordinating through email with Bank-Al Habib Manager in Pakistan, and he always reply me in time with good advises.
Branches are good with no long ques, rate is good. All branches are online.

At present, Bank Al Habib is number one in service. You shoul certainly avoid Standard Chartered as they are not only poor in service but also can refuse to honor cheques on very small pretex. |

You have to be physically available in bank to open account in any currency and even to receive cheque and ATM card. |

Huzba u r right. I presume that Charterd Bank some how discourage the peopoe to open their foreign cuurency account in view of their not only lenghty procedure but also staff having incomple information. And when u submit your documents they raise further queries (while in the meantime expat having litte time in Paksitasn, left the county. While i tried to open my account at lahore they said that cheque book will come through post or after two week to collect my wife or daughter. Later on they told that it is obligatary to come (customer) and collect the cheque book (while i was abroad). |
