Same, same with any bank in the pit.

They are mostly local banks or franchises of international banks. Almost no stand alone. This means that there's always a pyjama in the rear room trying to rip you off big time.

When setting up an account, be extremely cautious and precise. Don't let any comma or letter be different than any document. Once set up, it is a bloody nightmare to change anything. You can dial through billions of numbers, get hold of the remotest moron in Kerala giving you his utmost attention without being capable of understanding even the slightest detail of your agony.

Online banking is similarly painful if anything gets out of the very simple basic transaction.

Just stick to the most basic services and you will only be disappointed, but at least keep most of your hair.
