Not sure entirely how this works but it seems way to easy to transfer money if you don't have an IBAN. I know all the young people are using their phones to pay for things but it makes money careless to me. But then I still use cash a lot.

You need to keep up to date, Brontë. !

Banks pump €3.2m into firm behind axed app to rival Revolut
"A new filing by Synch Payments to the Companies Registration Office has shown that €3.2 million in cash was put into the firm on December 18, 2023."
Based on the information in the public domain, this latest Irish Banks IT farce must have cost at least €20 million in external costs, not to mention what the participating banks spent on it internally.
Any advance on ZERO for the number of heads in the participating banks that will roll for this utterly stupid and futile folly ?? Or opinions on how much it will cost the directors of these august institutions ? Of course the banks loyal and long suffering customers and shareholders will as ever be at the ready to stump up.

Its expensive, last figure I heard was starting cost of around 100k but that was about 4-5 years agoFor the reason mentioned in the article perhaps?
The European Union (EU) on Monday adopted rules to make instant payments in the euro currency fully available round-the-clock in a move it expected to help European payments companies compete against US firms Visa and Mastercard.
The new regulation will allow customers to transfer euro-denominated money within 10 seconds at any time, including outside business hours, not only within the same country but also to another EU member state, the Council of European Union said.
