non-Irish Deposits/Investments

Hi,

With the current uncertainty regarding this country's general financial health, what are the ways to have deposits of cash not linked to Ireland? Would a deposit account a rabobank, because its dutch, effectively be an example of this?

Any info appreciated.

Are you asking this question having read the other threads on the issue?

I have read some but am still unclear. I am "presuming" rabodirect.ie would be ok in an Irish default.

I am not aware of many other such options to an Irish investor in this regard.

Any pointers on this would be good. (Not just for me but it seems to be an area of concern and ambiguity for many posters to the site.)

Your money is safe with RaboDirect who are owned by RaboBank unless RaboBank goes bankrupt.

RaboBank are AAA rated so this is not likely to happen.

An Irish default won't, in itself, cause RaboBank to go bankrupt.
