Hi all

It seems AIB is going to start charging management fees, cash out from an ATM, over-the-counter transactions, contactless transactions, etc. no matter if your balance is over €2,500 in your current account (which you were not charged quarterly fees); that option is being withdrawn too.

My dad told me once "never being faithful to a bank" therefore I'm considering other options for change (lowest and no hidden fees).

Which bank(s) would you recommend?

Thanks

20c per transaction for any of the normal ways.

39c per transaction if you for some reason went into a branch or post office and got them to do it for you.

The charges are essentially highway robbery and if possible your better moving your business elsewhere, they provided these services for free for having a certain amount of money with them for 20 years and just suddenly cancel it with vague reasoning. Show's how much they value customer loyalty over pure profiteering.
