Switching Banks

Hopefully most to some non-Irish banks, less profit for those banks happy to be based here under the crooked resposession rules limiting any foreign bank ever offering mortgages here.

Irish banks work on the basis that it’s too much effort for long-standing customers to switch and leave them, the rapport that was there years ago is well and truly gone. Vote with your feet and leave them, granted there isn’t a huge choice out there atm.

There is an IBAN for your Revolut. It will be a Lithuanian IBAN.

My Credit Union can have DDs and Standing Orders. I don't have a current account with the CU, that's just my Shares account.

EBS and Revolut for me, left Ulster a few years ago now....

The EBS online banking and stuff is shíte, but functional....

Little thing's like when you set the app up on your phone, they have to post you put a code every time you need to reinstall the app on a new device...

Then when you do you need to ring them to get another code to relay to the app....

You get what you pay for... i.e not much 😂

I'm glad other people answered you because I didn't know the answer 😀

I'm still in the early days of testing the set up. Haven't made much effort with it yet. I'll dump a load of money into the CU account this month and see how it works. Then start moving DD's, etc.

The one thing I'm not sure of yet is if I can do instant moves from CU to Revolut. I tried it once and it took a while for money to appear in my Revolut account. I might need to just get better for planning ahead with it. Or I might get and Avant Credit Card and add to Revolut through Google Pay
