Hi - I'm soon going to be selling my home in the UK and moving to the republic of Ireland, where I'll be staying in temp accommodation (prob a motor caravan!) for a while before buying a house there.
I'd like to open a euro-denominated account in Ireland while I'm still at my UK address.
Would prefer one that doesn't have charges.
I only want to open it with a small sum, e.g. 10 euros. Then I'll transfer the proceeds of the UK house sale to it, and I'll have the funds available for use when I turn up.
Can someone advise as to what bank will do this? Preferably a biggie. Preferably, although not necessarily, with a presence in the UK.
If it's of any relevance, I'm a UK citizen and not an Irish one, and will not be seeking employment in Ireland, as I am retired.
Many thanks in advance.
Michael
