Most people are extremely happy on salary days, coz they get to plan out things, the feeling of having money etc etc…. But ever since i left my old job… salary day is a major pain for me.. Since i dont have a salary account with my new company as yet. i get paid in cheques. Now i have 2 options , either i deposit it into my old account and wait another 3-4 days for it to come, or directly go to KFH, and show my civil id and get it encashed.
Problem is in KFH , the people are wonderful, well mannered etc. But they have like 3 tellers serving 300 people :-(. you usually have to spend like a whole morning of 2 to 3 hours to reach your turn. I have been doing that for last 4 months and its a pain. Whats worse is that my Monthly expenses which are refunded are paid in another cheque , on another day … and im like WTF , i have to go the bank again …:-(
oh thats sucks man !
your company doesn’t allow you having the salary to another bank? it sux man!
the paper work is under process , so until that happens , the ol , withdraw cash method.
theres always a branch that isn’t crowded!
momo : for KFH , i usually go to either , the muthanna or Salmiya branch. Shaab branch is closed down for reconstruction work. the Headoffice has basically no parking….or you spend along time searching for parking.
Urgh…that’s the long line we have seen on Friday….!
But that weren’t 300…you might wanna try Fahaheel
About 4 months for your company to start transfering your salary to your own account? That’s absurd mate. You should throw a few fireballs at your payroll people! I’ve done this on two occasions before and it’s just a matter of getting paperwork (similar to a standing order for loan deductions) from one bank to another. And yeah speaking of KFH, I have banked with them before……and might I say, the experience was quite……apalling!
I just opened my account in KFH finally … i will post more details in a new topic.
