    The First Trust bank is to close four branches in Northern Ireland by November, but said it will not involve any compulsory redundancies.

    The branches are Stormont, Finaghy, Ballynahinch and Ballymoney.

    Customers affected will receive a letter explaining that their accounts will be automatically transferred to the nearest alternative branch.

    The bank said staff will either move to other branches or be offered voluntary redundancy.

    EDIT:
    According to their website it's the 31st July the offer ends!! ;)

    Sorry I hijacked your thread a bit, I was just suggesting an alternative.

    Is anyone else doing this ? I could do with a hundred grand, so think I might as well. I just hope it goes smoothly; my better half thinks it won't as it is an NI bank...! lol.

    If I thought I was getting 100 grand I'd have signed up donkeys ago!! :D

    But no harm switching for a few months to get the ££, then close it again... They're sposed to pay out in the first 3 days of switching I think!

    Lol, wish it *was* that amount !! Think I will go ahead with it. Best to do online, or in a branch, do you think ?

    lol :)

    No notion. Prob no difference. I haven't the patience for queues so I'll likely do it online.
