Customer Services are not up to the mark in all sectors of KSA, there are some sectors where you can ignore such services but it gets very difficult to ignore it in sectors like banking. e.g. when I opened my account, the provision of ATM card was delayed by the bank and without ATM card I could not even use my account online. So I could not get and withdraw my salary and such issues are almost impossible to ignore. At that time I filed complaint in my bank and fortunately I got my ATM card after that, if you would like to know how to get a bank account in Al Rajhi Bank Saudi Arabia then you can visit the following link:
