Anybody with Goodbody?

Thargor

I see Danske have chosen goodbody as the default location to transfer everyones holdings to when they pull out in 2 months.

Does anyone reccomend them? Think I was on about €25 a quarter and €25 minimum fee per trade with danske which suited me as I only used them a couple of times a year. Interface was okay, nothing groundbreaking.

Just wondering does anyone use Goodbody stockbrokers and is there anything dealbreaking about them? High fees, broken internet platform, poor service etc?

I find Goodbody pretty good . They charge 0.5%/ trade, plus the usual add ons , stamp duty etc. Not sure what the minimum charge is .

mickman

i find them ok too.

Saxobank are a lot cheaper: http://www.saxobank.com/prices/stocks/commissions

Danske was €40 per annum, not €25 per quarter

Goodbody's fees will be €26 per annum and the same transaction fees as Danske

If you dont go with Goodbody, I presume you have to handle the transfer of investments to a 3rd party yourself?

Thargor

Wrong, they were €25 per quarter.

Im still thinking about Saxobank, hard to know if I need them if Ill just be pissing around Oz for a year.

It was the same blurb to open an account with them, which put me off for years.

Then I found out you could just pop down their offices with your passport and bills to open an account. No need for the Garda stuff etc.

Their Offices were near the RDS end of Dublin, somewhere.

You might be able to pop in an save yourself all the hassle.
