Bank of ireland increasing fees(not an april fools joke)

bizidea

Just wondering has anyone received notices from their banks to say they are increasing their fees in may for cheque and cash handling fees.I have no problem paying fees but I find this absolutely outrageous given the current situation we are facing the biggest crisis to face all mankind in a century.the increase is a 33% increase does anyone else find this situation unacceptable seeing as we have our politicians on tv telling us that the banks are going to look after irish citizens seeing as we looked after them not so long ago

Cheques and cash are obsolete.

Cash is legal tender how can it be obsolete soon they will be printing plenty more of it and handing it out.and thats not what I asked are people not disgusted that at this present moment in time with all thats going on how can anyone be increasing fees

Probably a good idea to disincentivize the use of cash and cheques given the risk of transmission.
Good move by the banks.

Probably about right, an increase in line with the dangers of handling contaminated cash

bizidea

I really dont think people realise the economic fall out there is going to be from this.do people think everything is just going to go back to normal on the governments date of 29th of March I'm afraid not its only going to start kicking off then.it will be closer to the 29th of September before anything like normality resumes.economically this will effect everyone from private to public to self-employed.there is going to be a massive bill to be paid and in the middle of it bank's are upping their fees

It's nothing to do with the current virus situation, it's just a badly timed introduction of yet more new fees. No more and no less.

Yes exactly it should not be allowed to happen in the current crisis.we have not seen anything yet we are all going to have to play our part to recover from this and upping charges is not going to help anyone

I think at this moment in time people should be more worried about their survival and the survial of their older and vulnerable realatives and friends than crying about increases in a business account fees of a couple of cent
