I’m sure the question that many are now asking is; what to do about switching banks?
I’m sure many people (like me) want to have a bank that has a physical branch office - to walk into when needed. I’ve been a long term UB customer (going back to Henry hippo days) with current accounts for day-to-day banking. I prefer to have a bank with a branch network for those scenarios where you need ‘a neck to choke’ when something goes askew.
That, I guess, means looking at AIB / BOI / PTSB?
So my question is, if looking at basic banking services such as current account for the day-to-day banking, a credit & debit card. Is there much difference between the above three? They all look to offer the same, but is there any compelling reasons to avoid one vs the other?
As a follow up question; Should we, UB customers, be looking actively move now from UB, or should we just ride out the storm and wait for whoever takes over their retail banking (e.g PTSB?). If all the UB customers start to pull their savings, no doubt a run on the bank might complicate things, no?
thanks.
