No mention of the crazy high variable rates they are charging their mortgage holders
Meanwhile, we wait with bated breath to find out who IS entitled to investigate tax evasion by the great and the good. You couldn’t make it up.
This bank has seen more English bankers moved across the sea than former I.R.A men across the border .
It seems to me “banksters” practice relocation as much as any other secretive organisations – let’s hope it’s not for the same reason !
Stealing from the poor with crazy interest rates.
Poor people don’t buy houses.
Might we expect a pension?
P T S B the Bank appointed by this Government to take over the running of the former Credit Union in NEWBRIDGE Co. Kildare. A town now without a Credit Union and whose residents are about to lose possession of the building they paid for to the D S P. Without a cent being reimbursed to the members of the former Credit Union, and still no answers from its last Board of Directors.
If they wanted to keep their credit union the members should have run it better.
Reinhart and Rogoff must have moved into accountancy since the Herndon collision !
Nice to see they may have got a job of Mr. British Cabinet adviser – if they did that is !
Why are’nt the board of TSB in jail, did they not have money planted in Anglo’s accounts to make the Bank look solvent????
I am aware of a person who had a deposit if €150,000 with TSB with a fixed rate of 2% for 15 months.
The same person had an opportunity to buy an apartment for €65,000 with a rent of €7,200 PA.
TSB were asked for a loan of €65,000 secured by the deposit of €150,000 and they quoted a rate of interest of 7.5% for the loan a surplus of 5.5% over the cost of funds.
This is usury!
Does the Central Bank of Ireland have any control over Banks or is it all a joke?
Just don’t take my free banking!!
