It’s been three years since I have opened my 1st account in NBK. I used to have my salary, savings..etc, with another two banks, and the 1st reason that encouraged me to move to NBK was that their branch locations; one in the head office of my work place, and another one in Qortuba, where I live.

I have never faced any problems with NBK, even though I don’t do much transactions ,but I remember a while ago when I lost my wallet. The reaction of the Hala Watani employee I talked to was so great, and I can never explain how compassionate he was! He also guided me on what to do and what actions should I take in regards to my civil ID, after he canceled my ATM & Credit cards and requested new ones for me.

Now moving to the online service, simplicity speaks! easily managed to do my tasks without any help, guidance, or what so ever. but a little more “branding” won’t harm ;i.e, Replace texts with graphics, icons.. maybe?

That was a quick note on how I am satisfied with NBK

NBK, I <3 U !

There is an info circulating around regarding agility’s case that it has reached an agreement with the US gov. over a settlement which will be around $600 million that will be paid on 3yrs plus getting back on all the US gov. contracts again.

nothing is confirmed and I couldn’t find any related news neither on reuters nor bloomberg so it might be just a rumor or the deal is not sealed yet.

* UPDATE: another msg claims that the news  we got yesterday is true and it is expected to be announced on sunday morning.

* UPDATE:

The case was postponed from Jan. 29 to Feb. 8 to negotiate over the settlement. so its scheduled for today in Atalanta timezone

I’ll add any updates we get.

*UPDATE*

DUBAI (Zawya Dow Jones)–Kuwait’s logistics firm Agility (AGLTY.KW) said Monday a U.S. court entered a not guilty plea on its behalf as the company continues talks to settlement a case over allegations it overcharged on about $8.5 billion worth of contracts.

“The court agreed to assign the case for purposes of setting a briefing schedule and entered a plea of ‘not guilty’ on the company’s behalf to allow the case to move forward,” Agility said in an emailed statement after the court session.

“The request for a briefing schedule is intended to preserve PWC’s rights while the company and the Department of Justice conduct discussions aimed at a resolution of the case.”
