I'm actually just after closing an account with them. Can I signup again, spend the money and just abandon the account?

A copy or a scan? I can only assume it's the latter!

A copy, but it looks like a driver's license will do instead.

Don't Rabo allow you to receive the interest in monthly installments? I've been looking at some other savings aco***** and they only payout the interest on a set date, once a year.

Some of the other products have rates up to 4%, but have a minimum savings amount. Not sure which is best overall, it can be very difficult to compare products as they are seldom straight forward savings accounts.

free 30 euro for 10 mins of work... won't say no to that...

Note 2: You will need to be a permanent resident in the Republic of Ireland in-order to open an account.

So I'm out.:o

Not much of a snag really, it's for money laundering reasons.

Doesnt every new bank acc require a copy of your passport??

I applied for my Rabo a good month ago but between wrong documents and a mix-up on their behalf it only got done this week.But my code was only for €20

I brought mine into the local garda station and they stamped it.

i was saving here when they had like 5% interest rate, then they dropped it down to what ever it is now.
rabo is alot more convientent than BOI saving as you can transfer as much as you like to rabo when ever you like, and you can setup direct debits through their site.

gleep

Tahnks OP, going to open one of these. Missed their €20 offer last year, won't miss this one!

makeorbrake

Wonder if i can still avail of this if i got the €20 last year?

(have filled out the form anyways...)

I opened this account and theres no €30 in it? Was the money there when everyone else opened the account?
