Maximising the Return On Your Savings
In this podcast, I discuss the current situation with interest rates in European banks with Greg Hughes, specifically focusing on Irish banks. I explain how the European Central Bank has increased interest rates, but Irish banks have been slow to pass on these increases to depositors. I highlight the legal and financial implications of moving your money to banks with higher interest rates within the EU. Additionally, I provide information on alternative banking options, such as Bunk and Raisin, that offer competitive rates. By exploring these options, you can potentially earn more on your savings and make your money work harder for you.
