I bank with NIB (without doubt the worst service by far as compared to BofI and AIB - I've had accounts with all three) and last Wednesday I lodged a cheque with my brach at the counter.
The cheque was to be drawn on another Dublin based NIB (in Clondalkin: my branch is the 'flagship' - Ha! Ha! - College Green one).
I am a little concerned about the cheque so I just phoned to see if it has been cleared. I was told that the five working days are not yet up and it will be tomorrow before I know.
Are they for real? Can it really be the case that the same five days applies to one of their own branches a few miles away? Or is this the norm?
Is it any wonder that most banks are viewed with thinly veiled contempt?
