B barbaros Registered User Messages 68 15 Sep 2019 #1 Is it possible to open a USD currency account (with IBAN) in Ireland or another EU bank that you are aware of? Transferwise doesn't offer Iban (only swift info) and revolut shows beneficier name as Lloyd's bank so it's a no go for me. Thanks!

That said, I think a small number of USD accounts do use IBANs. You could ring all the traditional Irish banks that offer USD accounts and ask. PTSB, BoI and AIB all offer USD accounts.
