Looks like Ireland is to follow France and get localised Irish IBANs in the near future
This is something I know was mentioned a number of times in the media last year and should help to drive adoption, particularly with the upcoming departure of Ulster Bank and KBC.
I can see Revolut making a push for users to migrate their accounts over as these Ulster and KBC accounts start to close.
Why deal with the hassle of opening another bank account (because it is a hassle here) when you may already be a Revolut user and can have a local IBAN?
In addition, AFAIK the Revolut Standard plan would become one of the only, if not the only, free banking option - albeit will limitations.
Personally, I’ve had no issues with IBAN discrimination in Ireland.
Every utility / service provider I have used have accepted the LT IBAN, however in every case it has required download and printout of a written SEPA mandate so hopefully those days are coming to an end
I don’t really want to move my IBAN back to Ireland, I already have one bank account in that country and the reason I chose revoult was because I was able to get an account in GB, then moved it to Lithuania, which is OK, but Ireland? I really don’t need another account in that country. Is there any way to keep an account in Lithuania?
I haven’t had any serious problems with my revolute, apart from an Irish airline refusing it.
I already have an Irish bank account I don’t really want or need another irish one, and I have concerns about it adding additional fees.
Thanks for your feedback and welcome to our community
A account with an Irish IBAN will give you numerous benefits! You will be able to get your salary, schedule direct debits, and pay utility bills as well
With over two million customers in Ireland, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our customers’ experience
It would be nice to have a personal iban in Switzerland, and something that has been requested for a long time since iban discrimination often occurs. It would be important to keep the GB iban since having an SEE IBAN is always useful
