NIB To Ditch Laser, IPSO Likely to Wind-Down Laser in September

Anyone have an update as to when Danske/NIB will switch to Visa Debit? I have asked by email a number of times but they don't want to give any indication as to when it will happen.
 
Laser is getting shut down in April 2014.

Danske has still not made a final decision on a replacement.

Danske hope to make a decision in the "coming months".

Why are Danske delaying the move?
 
You were probably asking a rhetorical question Ciaran but its perhaps because they are intent on pulling out of Ireland?

Yes, it was a rhetorical question :)

Danske now call themselves a "private and SME corporate bank".

One wonders if Danske will offer 'retail' banking services (current accounts etc) forever. They certainly seem half-hearted about it at the moment.
 
I'm a bit worried now.

They keep saying "they are committed to Irl".

But they closed some, then all branches.

I just assumed they are slow in replacing the Laser debit cards.

If they did pull out of retail banking, what would hapen to the mortgage book?

I have a LTV 0.5% tracker.
 
Still no news on a replacement for Laser for Danske customers.

Danske like to preach about SEPA awareness, they don't see so prepared themselves for the imminent end of the domestic card system.
 
It is somewhat frustrating. I would really like to see a contactless Visa Debit card being issued as soon as possible.
