Switching to BOI

    Hi guys. 

    I've been a BOI customer 3 years ago when I moved to Ireland. Then I switched to Ulster (mainly because they were open on Saturday, had the iPhone App, and no costs involved). Then Ulster had the terrible IT incident, and I moved quickly to Permanent TSB.

    I've my current account and Credit Card with them, but it's really a basic bank... I've seen Money Manager from BOI, Contactless payments, etc, so I want to try it again :) 

    My question is, if I call into the branch, will I be able to open Current Account and apply for a Credit Card at the same time, with no recent history with the bank of Ireland? I don't wanna transfer my existing CC balance until I'm sure to keep the account.

    Ideally I'd lodge half or full salary into BOI, move some money into PTSB to keep the account and credit card active until I decide to keep only one account.

    Any help here is appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Dario
