Will it matter if the mobile number registered on an account is not from the country of the bank?
With apologies to all, this is the nub of my concern. And it may be that I am overthinking this, creating problems where none exist.
/- Are Irish credit card and current account debit card providers allowed to offer their services to Irish now living (and resident) overseas? (I was asked to provide proof of postal address recently)
/- Are Irish banks able to text passcodes to non-Irish telephone numbers? I experience difficulties where I give my irish number to continetnal providers.
/- Am I creating problems where none exist? I thought the new PSD2 played a part in all this.
Setanta I have an Irish Ulster bank account. I have a debit card from them. With my foreign address. I'm still not seeing what the actual issue is. Why would a phone company care which account in whatever country is used to pay a bill.
Now I get it. I ran into difficulties with Ulster bank in the last week for my online banking. I couldn't find my card machine and couldn't log on without a code. Up to know all I needed was my pin and an 8 digit number. The Central Bank told Ulster that this was not enough security (I spoke to Ulster a few times). So now to log on you either use the card reader, or you get a code to your mobile. I had given Ulster my husband's phone so I had to get him to tell me what it was, which is a pain, but I couldn't change to my phone because you need the card reader to do that. Anyway they've one in the post to me meanwhile but as it happens my OH was in Dublin this week and popped into a branch and got one. The mobile phone Ulster has for us is foreign. Also, eventually, as I was so frustrated, the Ulster helpdesk changed the phone number to mine. Oddly he couldn't order a second card reader for my husband as my husband had to authorise it himself, which is just ridiculous.The issue isn't with the phone company. It is that banks are now required (or will be under PSD2) to have your mobile phone contact details in order to put in place multi factor authentication for security purposes (such as texting you a code if you want to make a payment). The original question was whether an Irish bank are going to accept a non-Irish mobile phone number
