Permanent TSB joins institutions who cut rates

Permanent TSB joins institutions who cut rates

Yesterday, Permanent TSB became the latest institution to cut the rate it pays to its 25,000 holders of variable deposit SSIAs by 0.5%. This follows on similar low profile cuts in rates by AIB Group -0.75%, First Active -0.5% and ACC Bank -0.5%.

Bank of Ireland said it has no plans to cut the 4% rate it has paid to its 200,000 variable account holders since the inception of the SSIA scheme through which the Government pays 1 into SSIA accounts for every 4 saved.
