Hi all!

I will be moving to Riyadh from Dubai, I need to know if I can continue to use my current HSBC account or I will have to close it and open a new account?

I went to the bank but didn't get much information.

Any information will be highly appreciated

Thanx!

You will have to open up a new account.. Because your company would have to transfer your monthly salary.. if it is an Dubai based account, then you will incur extra charges..

Keep the existing HSBC account and open an account with SABB (Saudi British Bank).. they are merged banks..
