Last week I needed to pay money into an AIB a/c. I thought there would be no problem transfering funds from my BOI a/c to the AIB a/c as I had transfered money to other euro countries by using IBAN and BIC. However, when I went to my local BOI branch and asked could I make a transfer from my a/c to an AIB a/c I was told NO. Can this be right?
Yes I had the same problem with BOI. I went to the counter and they said they could not transfer money to my AIB account. They could give me the cash and I could go down to the local AIB and lodge it! So much for technology.
I did this transfer the other day in BOI Branch. The one requirement is that you must have a pre-printed or pre-encoded lodgement for your AIB account.
