Askari Bank is horrible

I am getting use to pathetic banking system going on in Pakistan , and my recent experience with Askari Bank made it even worse . Ok first of all , who charge you money , to get money . None other than Askari Bank . If you are flying over to Pakistan with some dollar amount in your pocket , and you want to deposit it here then they will charge you 3.78% of whole amount as ‘‘cash handling charges’’ . It means for every 100 bucks you’ll have to pay 4 bucks to the bank . Now again if you want to withdraw some amount from bank then they will charge you again for some government tax .

Customer service is so lame that you feel like you are in some government office . Just for a small thing a poor banker will be running around in office to get permission from manager or what not . Not to mention most of the managers sit in office , talk on phone and enjoy chai .

Guys if you know ONE decent bank in Pakistan , please let me know . If anyone from Askari bank reading this - you guys seriously need to start working .

Rant over

For customer service: Not only Askari bank… there are various others too who have same attitudes/environments… but I would add one thing.. Sometimes it depends upon the manager too. A corrupt manager will have corrupt staff most likely..

For charges: you are helpless

I udnno about duputtay ka pallu but most women I’ve seen hide it in their bras. But htat only works if the um “purse” is “deep” enough

I have also seen women withdrawing the money from that place… ugh
And once I saw a cashier (at a departmental store) sniffing the currency after the departure of the lady… disgusting
