Allied Irish Bank (AIB) increased their banking transaction fees from August 31st 2013 – for personal and business customers.
The rule on avoiding fees by keeping a balance in your AIB account of at least €2500 remains the same – but AIB customers who don’t manage to keep that much in their account will see charges rise on most transactions. The €4.50 quarterly maintenance charge remains the same.

Here is a summary of the changes to fees on personal current accounts at AIB from Aug 31st 2013:

Well I see that there are 2 options. Either move to another bank which has a better deal(For the moment) or just stay with your current bank and let them rip you off. Irish people just don’t change banks often enough compared to other countries. If they did banks might think twice about increasing charges willy nilly.
