New Anglo Irish Bank Website Offers Interactive Features

February 04, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Anglo Irish Bank Corporation (I.O.M.) P.L.C. has relaunched its website www.angloirishbank.co.im - adding several new products, services and interactive features.

The new site has been designed to be user friendly and easy
to navigate, enabling visitors to find out more about Anglo Irish Bank and Trust Company, with just a few clicks of the mouse.

The site contains several features which will enable visitors to make calculations and projections about key financial topics, such as interest rates, income tax, pensions and inheritance tax.

Commenting, Mike Dean, Internet Marketing Manager, said: “These days people want hard information, and they want to be able to see how things relate to their own situation, and in a manner that is easy to understand and interpret. That’s why we felt it was important to make the site as accessible and interactive as possible.”

The site offers a Pensions Calculator, which enables users to gauge what they will have in their “pension pot” on retirement, given their current level of contributions. The calculator also helps them to set a pensions goal, and works out how much they would need to save in order to achieve their ideal pension.

“Pensions”, said Mike Dean, “are increasingly moving up the agenda for many people. However, it can be difficult for many to determine where they are with their pension, and to make projections for the future. Our new Pensions Calculator takes the hassle out of doing so.”

On the savings side, Anglo’s new Deposit Account Calculator enables investors to compare interest earned in any of Anglo’s award winning Privilege range of accounts, compared to accounts offered by other banks.

“There are lots of savings accounts out there, and it can be confusing for investors to find the best rate and work out projected returns,” said Mike Dean. “Most investors want to instantly see how our rates compare with others, and what sort of return they will get for any given level of investment. Our new Deposit Account calculator does just that.”

The new site also features Anglo’s existing interactive Income Tax calculator, the “TaxOmeter”, and Inheritance Tax calculator.

In addition to its interactive features, the new site offers constantly updated information on Anglo’s share price, indicative deposit rates for corporate accounts, and a daily market commentary on global interest rates and trends.

Each of Anglo’s main services has its own dedicated section: Personal and Corporate Banking, Trust and Company Services, Fund Services and International Pensions. There is also a separate section devoted to Professional Advisors. The site also links to four of Anglo’s other websites: Anglo Irish Bank Dubai, ExpatMann, YachtsMann and NewsMann.

In addition, the site provides extensive background information on the Isle of Man and its finance industry, backed up by Newsrooms and comprehensive online Libraries.
