I have lost all confidence in the Irish banks and what to move my savings outside of the Irish banks. I cannot have my life savings in Irish banks that I now have zero confidence in.
Can someone please recommend a new home for my savings. Here's what I require ...
(A) I have about 80,000.00 euro in savings that I want to put into one account.
(B) I want to have access to my savings with no notice period.
(C) I want good online access.
(D) I want a high interest rate.
(E) I do not want my savings in any Irish bank. This is the single most important thing to me.


Am I asking for too much ??? :) :confused:
 
Ciaran - are you sure that bank has nothing to do with Ireland?
It has '.ie' in the web address, and is called Nationwide UK (Ireland). Would the Irish government be able to snatch deposits in such an account?

The Keytrade bank seems pretty far removed from Ireland, and its government. Belgium could be a bit dodgy.
 
If it were my money rather than have all the eggs in one basket I would split the amount between [broken link removed] and Rabo. You will have to forego the [broken link removed] (less DIRT) on the Rabo portion.

"snatch", no :)

However, deposit balances, as they are inside Ireland, could hypothetically be converted into any new currency.
 
Nationwide UK (Ireland):
uses BOI for clearence of money but is held off shore... but this does mean should there be a banking issue with BOI i assume you cannot get your money out of nation wide until its fixed or somthing else is put in place.

The 'operation in Ireland' part would worry me. You also mention deposit balances are 'inside Ireland'. If it was my €80k, I wouldn't want it anywhere near the Irish government right now.
 
Is everyone moving their money?

Has everyone moved their money outside an Irish Bank? I have about 50K currently split between PTSB and Ulster Bank.
