Askari bank, have been using AKBL online services for years now, no issues at all. All household bills are paid online via their online banking so there's that.

Yeah, I never understand why askari bank is never even discussed. Using it from 3 years 0 issues and awesome online banking. It is also one of the least crowded.

UBL works fine for me, then again i haven't tried other banks as I am satisfied and never felt the need to do so.

I dont know about Askari but UBL is a poor performer. Whenever you need to execute an online transaction, you will find its link down. Having availed different options so far, I have concluded that BAHL is a better option although nothing is 100% in Pakistan.

From my experience:Askari: Non-profit bearing accounts (current accounts included): internet banking is free. Inter-branch transfers are free. inter-bank transfer is 15 rupees per transfer (may change with new SoC from Jan 2018, have not checked). Online uptime has never been an issue. Branch network info is available on the net. CC online requires activation. Debit card i have no experienceAl-falah: Non-profite bearing accoutns: Internet banking: fixed charges on a per year basis depending on your preset limit. Inter-branch and inter-bank charges variable depending on amount being transferred. Uptime as with askari. Branch network info on web. CC online requires activation. Debit card no experienceMCB: Probably the worst service i have ever experienced. Got my account name wrong (despite writing in block letters on the form); put my father's name as my account title (this was prior to new banking rules and regulations). over the counter service is horrible.

Ubl bank best bank.If you are a salaried person, make a salary account. No charges whatsoever apart from withholding tax. And their banking app, the newer one digital app. Very smooth and fast ui. The older one is crap though.

Wondering why you (Pleasant) are thinking SCB expensive? They're annual ATM fee is just 950 whereas some local banks charge more. But when you compare there service level there is no parallel to SCB. I have been with them since 2012 and till today I have never faced their link down for a single time.

So you mean to say no bank provides atm services / sms alerts for free
Plus the banking charges are high if i like to move money from scb to another bank i will have to pay 100rs for every transaction
For e.q if i want to load up easypaisa acc for 100rs i will have to spend 200rs to get 100rs in my easy paisa same goes with other banks transfer

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.
