    Personal account?

    Why do you need to visit the branch so often?

    ditto on the last poster reply. Ulster bank is the way to go. Free banking & many of their branches are open on a Saturday morning.

    Rumours are the free banking is set to go so wouldn't be changing solely for that reason at the moment.

    I would imagine that ulster bank would be introducing fees etc
    They are lucky to be still in Ireland

    Ulster Bank or depending on the volume of transactions Bank of Ireland.

    They offer 28c per transaction and no maintenance fees or €11.40 per quarter for up to 90 and 28c thereafter.

    AIB charge less at 20c / 30c (manual/branch/paper) but have a base fee of 4.50 per quarter.
