Just a heads up for those of you (like me) who switched to an Explore Account thinking they'd make some of their money back on those transactions.

According to this it's going up to €6 from August 1st. https://www.permanenttsb.ie/mortgages/first-time-buyer-mortgage/

In the "And 2% back monthly" section.

The Explore Account carries a €4 monthly fee for maintaining the account,effective from 1 August 2019 this fee will increase to €6.Any items that are returned unpaid (including Direct Debits and Standing Orders) will incur the appropriate unpaid item charge and other charges may apply. eStatements only.

I think this'll be the straw that breaks this camels back. I'm away a lot so no chance to make back any of that money. I'm going to try switch quickly to EBS or KBC before I head away this summer.
 
I can't see anything on whether we'll still get 10c back on every transaction. Is that gone?
