    Hi All,

    Hope somebody might have some advice.

    Basically I run a small company and the majority of my transactions are:

    • Direct Debits
    • Standing orders
    • national transfers in/out - mostly done online

    I am currently with AIB business and while I haven't really had any problems/issues, I have an opportunity to move to Ulster bank for 2 years free banking.

    Has anybody any experience with Ulster bank and in general does anybody find any specific bank better?

    I understand better doesn't necessarily mean cheaper, but from what I can see (shopping around), AIB is the most expensive for business accounts. Bigger flat annual charge (€250) and generally higher regular charges.

    When I asked them if they could do any better (quoting cheaper prices from competitors), they basically stated that they felt their service warranted the higher charges.

    In the current day of electronic banking, most offer a very similar service.

    Where a difference is had is in the relationship and financing your business and having advisors/seminars - AIB have been very good at this recently.

    But if you don;lt see any major need for finance, and your banking is fairly standard, then price would probably win out.
