Hi all, can only choose between HBL, Standard Chartered and MCB. Which one should I go for? Priority is online (international included) transactions and banking. Wont be making loads of transfers; barely one or two a month at max.
Easy, SCB. You can't go wrong with it. If you can't, then I'd wait for someone, who has experience with MCB, to chime in as I can only speak for HBL. HBL's debit card works almost everywhere I am talking Aliexpress, Netflix, apple's AppStore, play store, steam, etc. The site and mobile app work pretty great and I have had no problem with transfers, paying for stuff online such as bills, mobile top-ups, etc. One thing for HBL is their helpline is non-existent. You will be very lucky if someone picks up their phone and this has happened to me 100% of the times I needed to call (before COVID). This is one of the reason why I don't usually recommend HBL to people. HBL's bank staff, however, is on the contrary and always got my issues resolved. I always had to go to the bank, which is conveniently near my house. The banking staff for MCB was also friendly and helpful when I went there for inquiry though that doesn't depict how their service is as a customer.
Just my 2 cents.
