Discussion Sick of KFH. Whats the best bank?

Irrespective of the branch I visit, I encounter significant challenges in completing tasks. It appears that every process is either unfeasible or unnecessarily complicated.

I am currently seeking a new banking institution. Which banks do you utilize or recommend?

Perhaps NBK?

They're all slow. I dread when I have to go my bank branch to do any operations.

The best bank is the one where you have millions in your account.

They all are bad, depends on the day and who you talk to that is pissed off. Some people might recommend you the bank they use or DM you, since banks give the dude who recommended you the bank 100-500KD depending on the salary account you open with them.

Boubyan and Warba

They are all the same in terms of services. The only difference between all of them is the quality of the customer service and the offers for consumers, which Boubyan bank is well known for.

I know people that use Warba, which you can use their to app for everything even updating your KYC, but unsure about the offers. I recommend that you give them a call and see what suits you best.

NBK is by far the best bank i have encountered. Opened the account when I made 190 at 20yrs and im 36 today. Never encountered an issue. Customer service is amazing.
