  3. I was very surprised to find out this afternoon that AIB charges €200/year for online banking. BOI charges €15/month with the first six months free. I’m having second thoughts about using AIB for my business account.

    I haven’t had good experiences with BOI in the past, whereas AIB’s online banking and support team have been very easy to deal with.

  5. I had trouble with BOI in the past, and I generally have a problem with their non-branch staff, but the last time I had an issue with BOI-BOL they were very supportive. And let’s be honest, with AIB and BOI it’s six of one and half a dozen of the other.
    I’d go to BoS/Halifax in a shot, but they don’t have a banking branch in Cork, and I still need to do physical lodgements. I’m tempted at this stage to set up a BoS account and use my existing BOI account simply as a feeder.

    I was with BOI for over 20 years, but when they switched the branch phone over to a voice attendant with an annoying message I lost all faith. You could never actually get to speak to a human, so I moved everything to AIB.

  7. True that AIB charges Euro 200 per year , but there again , they do give you ‘free’ training on how to use the web 🙂
    The training is compulsory regardless of level of IT experience. I didn’t sign up to their business banking (as in why should I pay to save them money), but it could have been a very interesting training course …

  10. Paul – the compulsory training is useful, as they ensure that you get to grips with the various functions within the system. Unfortunately they haven’t got any way of differenciating between the levels of user competency…

  11. I dunno about that Paul, but it was a short lesson. I explained that I consider myself a Windows power user and that I build websites for a living, and he immediately realised that it was a wasted journey. He was obviously pissed off, although he covered quite well, but seemed to understand when I explained that I’d already tried to opt-out and been denied. We had an interesting chat about banking and tech in general though, so I guess the day wasn’t a complete loss for both of us.

  12. Learn from my f*ckup btw folks: BOI sets up the appointment but the trainer calls beforehand. BOI won’t let you opt out no matter how hard you argue with them, but the trainer will probably be only too happy to stay at home and mark you down as uber-trained.

  13. “Seems odd they’re releasing a linux version before a Mac one…”
    Seems odd that they have to release seperate versions at all. Rather sad even. All that money and no decent programmers / web people?
