hey guys i have over 14k in a ulster bank regular saver account (SIDA) with this account the limit is 15k, what would you suggest the best thing to do?? im able to save approx 400 a month!! ulster bank have stated that i can't have two of this type off accounts!!

any advice welcome.
 
Yes but im thinking of the interest that is due in October, should i leave it with UB even though their rate has dropped or start dropping a grand a month into PTSB at 3.5%?
 
I would suggest you look at the Fixed term account with UB. Opens in 24hrs if your an existing customer and the rate is decent. Thats if you had a good customer experience with them to date.
 
UB rate is going to drop in April so its not very tempting to stick with them!!

Switch.

You will get accrued interest to date when you close your UB account.

I suggest the below:
(1) Move the 14,000 EUR into a PTSB 1 year term deposit paying 3.06% provided you dont need access inside 1 year.
(2) Set up an Online Regular Saver with PTSB at 3.50% and keep an eye on the rate by subscribing to the regular saver best buy thread.
