Hi What in your opinion is the best bank for an ex pat who, hum hum, is also looking for a low interest rate loan to clear off an exorbitantly high rip off loan in France? Poorly yours and swimming in debt, Michael

I sugges to check international banks established int he kingdom like
Saudi Hollandi (ABN AMRO)
Saudi British Bank (HSBC)
SAMBA (Citibank) - Biggest of them
Saudi Fransi (Credit Suisse)
But unfortunately due to pressure on saudization many of these banks have to get locals who doesnt know english. However, still I beleive you can find atleast one person to help you out.

I beleive these banks have personal finance available but not 100% sure as I never applied.

Btw, I am a profesional banker in KSA.

Good day to all,
I just like to know if possible to go to a new company even if I have existing loan in Samba bank. As of now, im working here in jeddah and one company offering a job with good compensation in al khobar. I cannot pay in full the remaining balance of my loan. Can i continue paying the loan under new sponsorship?

SABB is normally good but again it depends on your salary. in order to get loans here in saudi you sponsor needs to have some sort of an agreement.
