Brass Neck BOI

So, a wet week after playing a central role in bringing us all down, the Bank of Ireland have regained the brass neck that they need to get stuck into their customers again.

 Customers will have to have at least €1,000 going into their account every month or make at least nine payments every three months in order not to pay a 28 cent charge for each transaction they make.

I suppose that they are working on the basis that with all of the rest of the bad news out there, they can bury this bit among it.

So, whatever you do if you are lucky enough to have a job paying over 1000 a month, don't lose it.  If all you have coming in is a social welfare payment.  Tough.

I wonder what happened to Eric Cantona's idea of withdrawing money from certain French banks and placing it in their equivalent of Credit Unions?

Now there's an idea.
