[ILUG-Social] Banks again.

[McDermott, Alastair]

Hi Phil, all,

I've been with Ulster Bank for 4 years, 3 of those while in college, and
they have been quite good to me. I would not have any problem recommending
them. At the same time I'm sure a lot depends on how your local branch
treats you.

Mes deux cents :)

Al.

I'd watch out if Ulster bank are in any way affiliated with National
Westminster Bank in the UK.  I used to have an account with National
Westminster, and they are not a very understanding bank. (And when you are a
student, you need an understanding bank!)

As a result of this, I tend to avoid anything associated with them like the
plague.  Also, if they are affiliated, it won't be long before Ulster Bank
start charging for the use of other Bank's ATM's.  This has just been put
through in the UK, so it looks like we can probably all lokk forward to it.
(It is standard practice in the USA and most of Europe now, so it won't be
long!)
