Bank Transfer to Germany

Hello, [broken link removed].<!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END-->Not since 01.01.2001 when I pitched a fit about my EU rights being abridged. An Irish payroll outfit got euro-religion that day from the preachings of a large client.

Re: AIB DID say to me

I just called AIB 24Hr (again) and asked to add the moneybookers (BOI) account to my list so I could fund my shiny new moneybookers account, only to be informed thatacount was not allowed as it is a personal banking service (wtf?) they [AIB] are providing and I would have to speak with one of them each and every time I want to transfer funds internationally.

You can set this up yourself in AIB Online Banking.
1. Login
2. Go to Transfer -> Add
3. Enter the Irish sort code and account number for MoneyBooker's BOI holding account
4. When you use the Transfer facility, remember to quote
your MoneyBookers reference number in the AIB Online form
where it says:
"Enter a description to appear on the recipient's statement"
(For some recipients, e.g. Northern Rock, if you ring them AIB will set up the transfer details so the reference number is filled in automatically.).

Or you could avoid all the nonsense associated with banking in Ireland (promulgated by our avariciousness) and bank in Holland (which you are entitled to to as an EU citizen).

Re: ABN Amro Current and Deposit Account

@mugsGame

You can't add a non-AIB account online. The AIB part of the sort code, ie. 93-XX-XX is already filled in. A BOI sort code is 90-XX-XX. It even states that you MUST call them to add NON-AIB accounts to your list.
 
Re: ABN Amro Current and Deposit Account

Sorry murphaph, I missed that.
I've had a Bank of Ireland account on there for years. I don't remember how I added it; it must have been by phone.

In this case - there shouldn't be anything special about the MoneyBookers account. Have you tried ringing them up and asking them to add your "parents" account, giving them the MoneyBookers account number?
 
AIB

Yeah, tried that. They were having none of it once they heard the reference number-they knew it was nothing to do with personal banking. I'm leaving AIB soon anyway so I don't care anymore. My next bank for daily banking will be www.dkb.de (german text), all free internet only banking. AIB suck.
 
Re: AIB

re: the reference number, do you mean your MoneyBookers customer reference number? It should be possible to get them to add the MoneyBookers BoI account details without mentioning your reference number. Then quote your reference number manually every time you do a transfer.

Please let us know how you get on with dkb.
Do you have to visit Germany to open an account?
 
Much done. More to do. is one. Any others for 21st century banking and putting-up or shutting-up?<!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END--><!--EZCODE BR START--><!--EZCODE BR END-->Remarkable. From transferring funds to a Germany bank all the way to transferring accounts to a German bank.
 
Well, I'm emmigrating to Germany where regular banks are a rip off, just like here (not uncommon to pay €65 annually for credit cards). dkb won the waren-stiftung finanz test a couple of months ago, a reputable consumer organisation over there. I have no idea if you actually have to live there or not but I'm sure under EU rules they'd have to let you bank with them. However-they have a limited number of walk in branches (mostly in East Germany strangely) where you can actually talk to someone if you need to (in german only). They also ony operate a german language only online service, so I suppose ABN would be better with their english one (for most people here anyway).
