AIB offers free banking in Northern Ireland (through FirstTrust) and ycharges here. And NI is much smaller. They do that because they have to. Which is a good thing. Banks here charge because they can, because there's so little competition, not because they have to. You are being flagellated with unnecessary monthly fees and seem to be defending the whipping on the grounds that you deserve it.Jayzus, Sheila! I forgot me feckin' trousers

I called asking about it, as I was with o2 who dont exist any more, so I asked do I select o2 or 3 as my provider. They don't know. I send a text to each provider (charge 4 euro), neither arrive. They cant cancel the charges/texts either. jaysus christ.

Basically your account and cards are separate entities When your card expires and is reissued it is supposed to be an updated version of the same card (It will have a new sequence number that you don't see and doesn't form part of the pin calculation).
As it is a reissue all the same keys are in place and there is no need for a new pin but for some reason, almost certainly to do with saving money in issuing the contactless app.
I can understand why they might want to issue new cards but the real retardation is that any change on that scale should be done out of sequence with the expiry i.e. they should have sent the contactless upgrade as a second card that would not invalidate the old one until you used the new one with its new pin.
Even more annoying and infuriating is the utter stupidity of them only using the cardless cash access only as an 'emergency cash' option that is associated with your card rather than your account. The way they have ist configured is that it will only work with your card pin. So for instance if I wanted to use it so that you could pick up the cash the only way we could do that is for me to tell you my card pin which would be stupid.
The way it should work is that you can buy a voucher from your account and and set a one time pin for it and then share that with whoever you want.Turning millions into thousands

Are you seriously still arguing why you deserve to be charged for something that is widely available for free in normal banking market countries? Is there not a twinge of doubt about the potential stupidity of that?!Jayzus, Sheila! I forgot me feckin' trousers

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To...

Shouldn't ever have to go into a bank if a bank does its online stuff properly. What do you have to go into a bank for??

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostThis 'well I must be getting something for my money' attitude btw is why ptsb are switching back to charging new customers in a few months. Current accounts are profitable for banks in other ways (mainly upselling, but a small bit of interest earned on positive balances, interest from overdrafts) and fees don't need to be charged. Almost unheard of for fees in the UK. Its like turkeys arguing for a second christmas."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

I also have it set up for Google music so all my music in the same place.
Get great use out of it when mates are over drinking or whatever. You can just pick youtube songs/videos from phone and play them on the TV with yatze. And you can queue up the videos so anyone in the room can add to the queue of songs coming on.airport, lol

Would love to see Kerry Mayo go at it again anyway. The two games last year were the best I've ever seen.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostUK is widely acknowledged as in the lead due to a recent thing that makes switching vastly easier. Ridic deals on offer there. E.g. Santander 1-2-3 account offering interest on positive balances and cashback on paying your bills. Free account obv. In fact Bank of Ireland offering some nice current accounts for free through UK post office. Here they convince people to argue in favour of paying fees for the same account.
It's not size of country, just level of competition mediated by ease of switching. Hence why mobiles, car insurance are quite competitive here.

In fact I'd actually pay extra if I never had to fill out another form or get ID together unless it was absolutely necessary.
If that makes me an inertia driven fool, then so be it. I value my time and sanity more than having to deal with banks when I don't have to.
