Hi,
Need advice!
i have two AIB accounts - one which i have been using for years (account 1) and the other (account 2) which i have recently reactivated and received a Maestro card for.
account 1 has all of my current standing orders and direct debits, including all bills, mastercard and salary but is located where i used to live and is no longer easy to get to - so i want to close it and transfer everything over to account 2, which is more local.
Is there a charge for this?
Thanking you
Nowadays there is no need to move accounts from different branches of the the same bank.
I disagree. Cheques that are not lodged in your own branch are sent through the bank's internal mail to that branch and then cleared, so it takes longer. This is the case with AIB."
To the OP: be prepared to stand firm on closing the account. The bank will not want you to close your account and move it to a different branch because it will decrease their number of accounts. Each branch has a rating based on this. "
I closed a deposit account last year and the cashier spent 10 whole minutes trying to convince me to leave €5 in the account so it would remain open. Arguments used included "it's very difficult to open a deposit account" and "wouldn't you just prefer to have it there in case you need it."
