I have always banked at HBL because there where my entire family keeps their accounts and a lot of family members work as well. So experiences with HBL is what formed my entire evaluation about Pakistani banks..then I heard a few good recommendations about Meezan bank and the branch was right next to me in the neighborhood. So I decidied to give it a try by opening dollar saving account.

It took only $100 USD initial deposit and two working days to activate the account and issue the cheque book. I applied on Wednesday, signed a few forms, finger printed, KYC interview and today received my cheque book. So far so good...thinking to move my PKR checking account to Meezan as well..
 
Nice. Normally you would get better service at a small bank. Unless you have a sizable deposit, the big banks won't give you a very good service.
 
Also try Bank al-habib, I think its service is great.

Yes they are...as we have a family member with an account at BAHL.
HBL was the worst mistake to open an account with but now they have my years of remittance history so I cannot afford to close the account.

Small banks offer really good service. You can try summit bank too. There services are rally good too.
 
U must be an expat? Meezan is pretty old..
Sir, I visited Pakistan in July-Aug 2017 but didn't see it.. But I mean I wasn't looking for it but whenever I need to withdraw some cash from ATM I used standard chartered and there were one or two more banks.
It may be only in certain cities.
