    Im with BOI and my graduate status is due to expire soon. I've seen that Halifax have better rates on pretty much everything and Im tempted to move on. Their internet banking seems as good if not better.

    Has anyone moved to Halifax yet? If so, can you tell me what your initial thoughts are?

    I've a fairly good relationship with my BOI bank manager but I dont think thats enough to warrant paying high rates and account fees.

    TBH Halifax would let you believe that they are the bees knees. Most banks have a free fees deal TBH.

    As well as that the Halifax dont have their own ATM network and dont have the branch network to match the likes of BOI / AIB.

    Do you necessarily need a branch network though? I couldn't tell you the last time I actually went into my branch. And if they have one relatively near, what's the problem?

    About the atm at least they are starting to bring them in. There's 2 new ones at their office on Stephen's Green, which will be operational by July and I'm not sure but I'm sure there's others around as well

    Can I use Halifax cards at BOI and AIB ATMs?

    Yes. Any ATM with a VISA or PLUS symbol on them, which is pretty much any ATM in Ireland

    Their own ATM network wont really effect me so. Im just after something simple with no fees and excellent internet banking. If I could avoid going to the branch by doing everything over the phone or better still, on the net.. I'd go.

    I've made my mind up to switch to Halifax, seem to have all I need. PLUS they're open from 9-12 on a Saturday, which is what really sold it for me!
