Really nice spacious new building, it's a welcoming change from the old dull branch. What's super impressive is the online account service, so this sets them apart from the average credit union. Just like online banking from your bank, I can go on and see my transactions across my savings and/loan accounts. Ok ye don't get all the functionality of online banking but being able to set up standing order and just leave it going, with a little eye over it every now and again. Also when I moved out of the district they allowed me to keep my account there and have been nothing but friendly and accommodating since.

Ulster Bank is a good bank to be with. They have great offers and great customer service. The…read morebranch in Inchicore is particularly good for its customer service.

The people are pleasant…read more That's the only good thing I have to say. Their policies are awful. If you haven't gotten your debit card yet, this branch is even more useless because they don't handle any cash. of course, I didn't find that out until Monday morning and had to wait that long because I was not given the account data until 3:45 PM on Friday, two days after the application was submitted, and 15 minutes before they close. Therefore, there was no way I could deposit cash into the account anyway, and so spent a few days without services, all because this bank can't get anything done quickly. I will be leaving the moment my AIB account is open.

I use this bank quite often as it's closest to where I live, very spacious inside with tables and…read morechairs to sit and work. They offer free coffee and tea, and also provide all the usual services of BOI like accounts, loans, mortgages etc. but with a focus on new business start ups. It's probably the most modern and new looking BOI branch I've been too, and there are always a few people working on their computers. The staff are very attentive and helpful and they process everything in an efficient manner. The great thing about this branch is the opening hours; it's open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays except Thursdays where it's open until 8pm. On Saturday they are open from 9am to 1pm which is also handy. Overall, a modern trendy looking branch that caters well for the 9-5 work shift!

This is my local BOI ... just up the street from my local Tesco Express and diagonally across of…read moreFairview Park from where I lay my head. A medium-sized branch which I merely use for currency exchange cause they had better rates, typically, than the AIB closer to me. Friendly tellers though, like most banks in Ireland, crazy not very useful hours of operations for people with a 9-5 job ... how do people around here ever get to the bank ( other than on the internet that is )? Thanks for the Euros - hope you enjoy my Dollars ... or Sterling. Pick up some money from here and then go up the block to my favorite D3 offy. :-)

In my opinion, there's no such thing as a good bank. But Permanent TSB are the least bad bank I…read morecould find. I chose them by default when I first moved to Ireland - they were the only bank that would open an account and give me a Laser card without a long wait. The staff at the Baggot Street branch are friendly enough. Their online banking is good and they seem paranoid about security, which suits me fine too. Best of all, they seem to have come out of the financial crisis relatively unscathed and without needing a government bailout. This, more than anything, appeals to me on both practical and philosophical grounds.

The bank is housed in one of the classic red buildings in this area in Rathmines. You could…read moreactually walk by it without realising that it's actually a bank. The ATM is hidden off to the side behind the fence, which is kind of nice because you feel a bit protected when you're taking your cash out. The customer service is really helpful and you normally only have to wait a minute or two before someone can help you. The only queue that you normally have to wait on is the 'Cash' one. So I suggest to either use the ATMs outside or the express lodgement becuase you'll be in and out a lot faster.

Walking in really…read moretakes you back in time and if you could ignore the computers and tv screen you could be easily be banking at any time in the last 50 years! In terms of services they offer the usual cash, bureau de changes, loans etc. It does tend to be very busy, particularly at lunch time and just before closing, but if you need to make an appointment to meet an adviser they can usually accommodate you.

"No." Thank you Ulster Bank for being hyper aware for me and canceling the card. It's a pain in the arse having to wait for a new card but that's not their fault.

As far as banks go this particular branch is lovely!…read more Comfortable chairs if you're going to be a long time waiting, friendlyl staff & they even have a radio which is tuned to a radio station & not just awful recordings of tracks that you vaguely recognise.
