I am strongly considering withdrawing my Euro cash deposits from NIB and going North and opening a sterling account. It has to be a safer bet than leaving it in the euro with all the uncertainty in the coming months. Ulster Bank Newry pay a reasonable 1 year fixed rate of 2.8%. I am well aware of the associated currency risks but this is how I see it. If the euro collapses sterling will be worth more full stop. If things settle down in a years time I can always repatriate it to southern Ireland. I know the UK economy is no star but it has to be safer than Euroland at this point in time. Is there anyone who agrees or who has done this or anyone who thinks my theory is wrong at this moment in time.
