So, if someone had deposits of 100k in AIB and Anglo, and, as a result of transfer of the Anglo deposit to AIB the total amount in AIB is 200K it appears not to be true that the transferred deposit continues to receive protection under the deposit guarantee scheme as it did in Anglo because it exceeds 100K. If left in a demand deposit account it will not be covered by the eligible liabilities guarantee after 30th June 2011 unless the eligible liabilities guarantee is extended. If I'm wrong about this please clarify.
The €12.2 billion in deposits were backed by bonds issued by the National Asset Management Agency (Nama), the price of which has been cut by the European Central Bank (ECB) since the deposits transferred on February 25th.
There is no liquid market for the bonds – which were issued to the banks in exchange for land and development loans – but they can be used as collateral to borrow funds from the ECB.
I went into a branch on Friday 18th and the clerk said the same thing to me. The rate stays the same until it roll-overs, which for me is June. I presume then the rate will be whatever PTSB have at that time.I phoned INBS re a 12 month term deposit which matures today, and was told PTSB would honour 3.5% if we reinvested with INBS. I have nothing on paper though.
