PERMANENT TSB…read more Customers at the Permanent TSB branch in Mayfield are getting on with the ongoing "de-humanisation" of their interface with bank. Of course, you may still come across a human face there, but not as many as before as, like all other banks, the new technology continues to hit home. Sometimes, especially if you come across a "rookie" clerk, you feel as if you'd have been better off to have taken the mechanised route. But most learn quickly and, like their more seasoned counterparts, eventually won't want every "t" crossed and "i" dotted. There is, of course, help available for specialised transactions, foreign exchange, for example. I had to send off a deposit for a summer holiday to a gite owner recently and it went through without a hitch thanks to the friendly expertise of the staff in that section. One tip: if you have to send off a deposit, try and make sure that you get the euro account details from the owner. Many owners are English and naturally inclined to give you their sterling account. A "Swift" deposit to a sterling account will cost you over €30.00 while one to a euro account costs just a few cent. see also: http://corkandabout.blogspot.com/

If you are looking for advice do NOT go here!!! The information lady could not have been more rude…read moreor unhelpful. Basically was told because my initial account isn't with AIB Cashel that there is very little she could do for me, I have been to AIB branches in loads of towns and there has never been a problem. She just didn't have a clue and kept contradicting what she said. The worst part wasn't even her lack of knowledge, it was the rudeness which has really put me off even wanting to stay as an AIB customer.

OLC CREDIT UNION There are two big bank branches in the…read moreMayfield area but one of the busiest financial houses is the local Our Lady Crowned Credit Union which has been providing a terrific service since 1967 and also in Little Island since 1998. Friday is a particularly busy day here in an office that has seen much change over the years. It is now much more efficient, thanks to training and technology, and service is courteous and rapid and the long delays in waiting for an answer to your query (loans, savings, billpay etc) are long gone.
