    Just read the enclosed documentation with the my Credit Card statement today.

    From 13th March they are going charging interest on Cash Advances from the date of withdrawal rather than it be included in the Interest Free period with all other purchases.

    Similarly they are charging interest on Cross Border Handling Fee's which are incurred as soon as you leave the Eurozone.

    I am closing my account with Bank of Ireland over this and I hope many others do the same.

    Thanks for raising this OP, I didn't get the notification yet, the final straw on BOI charges for me, luckily there are far better and cheaper banks just waiting for my cash, and at least a 160euro a year saving for me by moving.

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means
