Which is the best bank for opening savings account in bahrain?


Hi,I'm from India, I want to open salary based saving account in Bahrain, Here lot of banks are there like SBI,ICICI,Citibank,HSBC,Standard Chartered,BBK,NBB. I want to know which bank have good service ,interest rate and less charges. Which bank is the best to send money to india.. Please help me open a account here..
Thanks in advance

I would recommend HSBC. Average service (but better than most), good interest rate and reasonable charges.

This is difficult to answer without any bias, but due to accessibility 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I would either go with HSBC or BBK. NBB has branches all over Bahrain, with convenient locations that have specific opening hours, such as the one in Seef Mall.

bbk is the post popular in bahrain but i really dont know

Bank of Bahrain & Kuwait (BBK) is the best. The reason why I am saying this is because they have services that no other banks have. Some services are:

1) They send you an SMS on your mobile once you get your salary.

2) They have a very user friendly website that you can do absolutely anything (deposit money, transfers, cancellations ... and so on).

3) Credimax (the leading credit cards company in Bahrain) is part of BBK. So if you have an account with BBK, you can pay off your bills online.

4) They have 3 Financial Malls in Bahrain. These are open from 8 am to 8 pm everyday (except Fridays), which makes it easier to go there after working hours.

5) and more .................

Go for Ahli United bank .. as it will be best for having a local savings account. It has numerous ATMs and Branches.. and the Airport Branch will be open untill 10 PM night for 7 days a week. Also you can have your best deals for deposits and there will be some chits like plans where you can get huge upon ur luck.

For sending money india there are many sources. But best i suggest is go for ICICI bank manama, Their service is better and they give best rates when compared to all other banks and exchnages.
