Q) Where to put your NR withdrawal?
A1) Straight back into NR. It's the safest bank in the country and it pay's you the best demand rate at 4.5%. Why? No other bank offer's an unlimited deposit guarantee underwritten by the Bank of England (BoE)!!!
My brother is with them and he hasn't had any problems with their customer care. It's awful to have fustrating service, it makes my blood boil. This shambles with NR has shaken up the whole concept of internet banking, I heard in the radio either today or yesterday that only a very small minority of Irish people do online banking and I think that after this latest fiasco they will be less of an uptake for it. I can't wait for Friday to come, my 3 weeks notice period with Permanent TSB is up, I am going to withdraw my ssia savings because according to the indo a couple of weeks ago they are also in a percarious state.
I read in one Sunday paper that the BoE had guaranteed deposits in all English banks, and not just NR. Can anybody confirm?
Given the events of the past two weeks, I'd be very careful where you put your money. Rates and customer service are important, but I'd be more concered about capital guarantees in the current financial markets.
Working on the assumption that any bank can have a run or go under, the Irish banks have the worst capital guarantees. 90% of your deposit, subject to a max guarantee of €20k. Also, note multiple/joint accounts are accumulated, so the maximum guaranteed per person is still only €20k.
An Post is state guaranteed, NIB comes under the Danish schemes, Rabo comes under the Dutch scheme & Northern Rock under the UK scheme - all of which offer slightly better capital guarantees than the Irish guarantee scheme.
The Irish banks are the last place I'd put my cash at the moment.
Is it my imagination or was the Business Post advertising this week that it would have a special this week on the safest place to invest.
I bought it this morning, but can't find find any article like that.
Was it another paper, or is it just me losing it
I was looking for it, too! Maybe the item on internet banking..a bit disappointing, I don't usually buy it. Advertising works!
