Have to admit that I find this shocking. I always thought banks looked out for our best interests (npi).
Imagine a cashless Ireland with only these tossers and one or two others as your only banking choice..
When is the penny going to drop ??
share price in last year …AIB +90% , BOI +66% …and people leave money on deposit 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
Here’s my question, when are we getting back all that bailout money?
It’s an Irish thing not just AIB. Ireland has a terrible savings environment with savers gets taxed to fuck at every ‘profit’ made.
… probably charging them interest on three….
AIB is giving EVERYONE two fingers.
Fixed that for you.
“Why those AIB customers trusting AIB with €102.2 billion in savings would not look elsewhere for a better return is a mystery.”
I mean, does anyone know what else someone should do? I’ve been saving for a deposit for years. I haven’t the faintest notion where I could deposit it for a better rate. I don’t want to invest it because I want to be able to use it.
Is it possible to save money overseas or somewhere else?
I’d say shift it to the credit union but the return there is just as bad these days and our local has a cap on deposits now.
The truth is that any increase in deports rates would be paid for by upping mortgage and other lending rates.
The regulation of banks basically requires them to be profitable, to increase tier 1 capital, to be able to lend.
If AIB passes on a 2% rate on deposits that won’t come out of profits, it’ll be passed on to mortgage holders to keep NIM and RAROC strong, to allow more lending.
Can’t see through the paywall but as somebody who emigrated from South Africa I was pretty shocked to see how low your interest rates are on savings and credit cards. We were
getting double digits in South Africa, here you’re lucky if you get given 0.5%. It’s absolutely crazy. Tbh, it’s better to keep your cash in a box u der your bed than save it in a bank, or, you need to buy a house. Those are your options. It’s ridiculous
After quite of research it looks like revolut has the best interest rate but that’s if you’re comfortable investing with a relatively new bank. We have decided to go with property instead.
Been saving a deposit for years and have 10s of thousands saved up.
I got 2 euro something in interest last year
Who ISN’T giving us the middle fingers at this stage?
I’m getting 3.5% on a savings account on the continent. Bit awkward to get an account, but doable. There’s a limit of €500 per month in deposits, but I rarely reach it. The 3.5% is locked: a bit shite during the high inflationary period, but still may work out in the long term.
I wish people would stop sharing articles that are behind a pay wall
