Afaik thereās only a couple of hundred in the Avant operation currently.
There were 1,200+ in the heydays of MBNA who were a terrific employer.

Said the cash back was a scam which it is.
No limerick. I suppose double bubble in Dublin
Can certainly aim to.
Pay down debt has always been my mantra.
What was the general consesus on the fixed rates discussion last week?
Iāve gotten my letter with the new fixed rate options, 2.9% for 2 years the way to go?
I can go 5 year for 3.0%
Going off the valuation of the house from the time I got the mortgage (4 years ago) Iād be on around 66% LTV. Would I need to be getting the house re-valued if I wanted to try to claim under the 60% LTV?
I looked into this. One catch with the deal is Avant will only lend within 20kms from cities outside of Dublin or 50kms from Dublinā¦ 5kms some town like athlone or KK then
ICS have similar rates, for not as long term, without the geographic factor. This all according to a broker I contactedā¦

I might just fix for the 2 years and I should be close enough to the 60% to get a friendly valuer out to review it.

Has advise been given on this thread to those who have Ulster Bank accounts and who to go transfer a current account over to? Branch wise Iāve AIB, BoI and PTSB on my doorstep. Who has the best online offer?
When are KBC expected to have completely pulled out of Ireland?
If you do not require the services of a physical branch then you should move to one of the online banks - N26 etc.
Iām with Revolut but Iām not putting my salary through that. Iāll pay for a round of drinks and thatās about it!!
Did I hear that BoI are pretty shit when it comes to online banking? I have a bit of a nub with AIB, shower of cunts!. PTSB are also a shower of cunts but maybe less cunty.
Aib online offering far superior to the other main banks.

Of the domestic banks EBS have a free current account and PTSB are ā¬2pm. AIB/BOI are around 4-6 pm but have a wider branch network. BOI are shit online. AIB are decent.

Havenāt used either in a few years. Suspect youād need to supplement your current account with a transfer to an online platform like Revolut to make us of Google Pay/NFC etc. Moved the majority of my banking to KBC about five years ago but need to find a new home for it now
im tempted by the credit union, anyone have a CU current account?
When their security actually means something I suppose, and itās not their own stupid fault for lending money to paddy in the first place.
