Good Points
friendly senior staff
Bad Points
Inexperienced junior staff; expensive charges, no interest on credit balances
General Comments
Allied Irish Bank claims to be a full service business bank but its service is below that of a clearing bank. As it is not a clearing bank, it takes at least an additional day to clear cheques deposited. In my unfortunate experience the bank regularly made errors on simple banking matters that I have never seen made by a clearing bank. The senior staff are friendly but the junior staff are pretty poor. The bank has high charges for business banking and does not pay interest on credit balances on business current accounts. In frustration I had to move my business account.
