Irish banks might offer decent rates?

[smileyssj@hotmail.com]

As someone who moved savings from a foreign bank – Rabo – to BOI for security reasons in recent days I’m curious as to what comes next.
To be honest, I’ve moved the money begrudgingly because in fairness they had a lot better attitude to Irish customers than any of ‘our’ banks..
For example when I initially moved my little bit of money a few years back the attitude from my Irish bank was more or less one of ‘off with ya’!.
Now my question is this..
Will Irish banks now offer customers half decent interest rates in easy to access/withdrawl accounts..because if Rabo was included in the six banks in an hour I’d switch funds back across..
Will Irish banks now start to offer customers half decent rates?
Or will they do as the papers suggest today and screw the customers through charges?

The Irish banks are now going to 'reward' the Irish taxpayer by raising bank charges, that's according to the Irish Independent this morning.

So you moved your savings from possibly the safest most well-capitalized bank in Europe, to a dead duck on the brink of going bust?

Genius move, dude.

ah go easy on him sidey !

not everyones as up on this stuff as us.

in answer to the OP.

NO.

or rather "will they ********************". BOI have INCREASED their charges on laser, credit card exceeding their limits and non payment of monthly repayments and theyre STILL paying ********************e rates compared to the place you just left.

no offence man but you were nuts. RABBO is the safest bank in the world, they TURNED DOWN the coverage of this scheme as they see themselves as more secure than the irish government.

the only ones offering good rates involve locking it away for a year or so and its still only on a par with rabbo. oh and those banks are the "dodgy" ones now too.
