Does anyone have any recommendations for banking in AD? I'm currently with Natwest - but not worried about changing because they're crap. I'll be paid in the UK, but will need to have some offshore savings and access to money on a day-to-day basis.

All banks here are sadly alike i.e. crap.

I use HSBC mainly for their online facilities, never had a problem with them in all the years I have been with them and for the 4 years here. Not the cheapest bank in terms of what you pay for their services, but better safe than sorry.

+1 HSBC

Good on-line facilities and best customer service in the UAE. Doesn't mean 'good' customer service (it's actually really cr@p) but better than some experiences I've had here.

HSBC are good but it also helps that the missus works for them.

I've been with RakBank for 5yrs for no other reason that they have a man branch close to home.

They're all pretty ropey.
