I believe that it's 90% up to 20 grand.

That bollocks Hobbs was on the radio yesterday and pointed out that NIB is owned by Danske Bank and their government protection is far higher than ours so if they/NIB went tits up you'd get more money back off of them.

I need "I know for a fact, from this source" kind of info. nlgbbbblth?

From what I heard on the news that was on in the background, this is being upped to €100,000.

if you had just won the lottery, it'd be little comfort.

Apparently the old (lower limit) covered about 90% of all accounts in the country so even though it was a lot lower than the rest of Europe most people woulda ben fine.

free 'look, we're doing the right things' publicity for the government, so.

Well it probably needed to be bumped, they hadn't increased it for a good while until this month. But they have gone from one of the lowest protections in Europe to one of the highest.

Hello,

Having recently found myself cashless and abroad, I would like to set up my ATM work in other countries. As far as I knew my card could do this, since it worked fine in Amsterdam a few years ago.

Is it that if my card is set up to work in ATM's abraod, it will work in any ATM abraod, or just ones in Europe, or certain ones in Europe, or what?
How do I set up my card this way with my bank? Is it Cirrus I need to ask for, or is it something else?
Thanks.

Also, how do you spell abraod/abroad?

 

[Gambra]

If you have a laser card it usually doubles as a maestro or cirrus card. And it's abroad.

 

[Lili Marlene]

the only ones that don't seem to work anywhere else are Bank of Ireland cards, I think you have to pay extra for that

 

[classic seanc]

That is uhh, how do you say....Totalement homosexuel!


The Bank of Ireland website is a fucking labyrinth btw, it is unhelpful.

No...you just have to ask your friendly BOI bank assistant for Cirrus. It'll take 24 hours to update.

My laser card works in shops in the US. I knew it used to work in ATM but being able to use it like a laser card over here is new to me (and kind of cool).

Does it have a maestro thing on it?

it depends on the type of card..Some cards have to be re-issued which is a pain in the arse and very stupid..

Yours Sincerely,
Your ex friendly BOI Assistant
