Best Bank to use in Pakistan

[PakAlp]

What banks would you guys recommend to use in Pakistan. I am looking to send money to Pakistan.

●The bank has to have brilliant data protection as many people accounts get hijacked and money stolen
●Great customer services because I can't deal with rude staff
●Nice bank building and not some dodgy looking building

What's the best account you would recommend for a foreigner. I will put 5k in the account and use £2000 when I visit. Also I will send money to Pakistan to leave in the account. Will be sending in pounds.

I am not worried about the number of branches because i am sure the local city will have a branch. But account security is my top concern. Also the convenience and customer service.

Will a business account be more secure than a current account. I tend to avoid the saving account with interest

Thanks in advance guys

Lol. What's the closest to what I am looking for please. What would you say are your top 5 banks?
I was assuming maybe business accounts would be more secure.
The issue is i dont want to come back to uk and someone close to me in Pakistan pays the bank manager and takes my money out or even keeps an eye on my account balance etc.

Does anyone have experience with Meezan Bank?

I wanted to add if the banking system was secure and world class then millions of overseas Pakistanis would send billions to Pakistan banks for savings. The new government says they are requesting people to send money to help the country but in return what do they offer? The local dsp asp and politicians to steal your money. The government needs to make secure environment for the money to come

What do you think about the Askari bank as it's owned by the Fauji Foundation.

Some info I've found regarding the banks and it's different accounts. I can read about it but never actually seen the bank. I wonder which one is the more professional?

The best bank is standard chartered Bank.
Last time I checked the minimum limit was 5 lakh rupees to open account. You can enjoy every facility that is avalible throughout the world.

There has been no breach of data from any major bank so it is pretty safe. A guy like you deposited Rs 1000 in a bank and kept telling the guard the whole night "stay awake, my wealth is in your bank"

Meezan bank is best as it is Islamic and avoid interest based banking.
