Hi,
I have not started to work yet but God willing very soon. I was just wondering if the universities allow you to open a SAAB account for them to direct deposit to? I haven't seen anyone mention this before which is kind of strange since I assume many of us should be from countries that offer HSBC branches and we would be comfortable with them?
If anyone has SAAB, were they able to transfer money from SAAB to another bank HSBC/CITIBANK, etc?
Can they transfer in USD/SAR? etc? Any help would be appreciated.
How is HSBC/SAAB? Anyone use it?

-- No experience with this one but you should be OK if you know the IBAN number.

-- No problem. Quick and (from my experience) reliable.
Can they transfer in USD/SAR? etc? Any help would be appreciated.
-- Yes
Best advice I can give is to do everything online. The service in the bricks-and-mortar branches is 5h1te.

I am also looking at using SABB /HSBC for transfers between KSA and Australia.
Does anyone have experience transferring money using these banks to Australia?
