Based on a review of literature, several research propositions were formulated. These relate to consumers’ choice of and factors considered in choosing two categories of banks: local and foreign banks. Empirical research was used to test the propositions. The country of origin may be an important element in the perceptions consumers have of banking services especially where little other information is known in the context of a developing country. Analysis shows that the local bank services were perceived to have "higher prices in general" and to offer "more value for money" than the foreign bank services. This study is important as it has great implications for decision making and the literature focusing on banking services in the Middle East.
