Not impressed that they didn't mention this just last month.
It is possible to change to PTSB, but who knows what fees they'll charge in 6 months time? If someone said change to us and your fees are fixed for 3 years, they'd get market share.

Current quarter ends 16th August 2013 so get out of BOI current account before then.
Why are you stuck with them?It should also be noted that the €5 quarterly fee is AS WELL AS 20c per transaction fee. So it may still be worth your while having €3000 in your current account if you want to avoid the per transaction fee. This means you current account would "only" cost you €20 per year plus lost interest on that €3000 (up to €60) so about €80 a year.
Yes you could potentially earn €60 interest after DIRT on that €3000 but then you would pay per transaction. €60 would give you 300 20c transactions per year - or less than one a day. As I'm stuck with BOI at the mo, I would still rather keep the €3,000 in my current account and not have to worry about fees or take out large amounts of cash each time.
Janet from February you'll be able to just use your German account for anything you need in Ireland. ;-)I've been looking into the various accounts listed in the best buys post (thanks for maintaining that CiaranT by the way, really well laid out and informative). The EBS money manager account looks like it'd be most suitable for my needs, only snag is that they list being resident in Ireland as one of the requirements. Might call in to see them anyway next time I'm back and see how strict that requirement is. The BoI current account is going, one way or another.
