Current Account FAQs

From 9 January 2025, you will be able to receive SEPA Instant payments from other payment service providers in euro to your EBS payment Account(s), to the following payment accounts, to your EBS MoneyManager Account, EBS Instant Access Account or EBS Teen Savings Account.

Payments from a Bank within Ireland or a Bank outside Ireland within the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) can only be made using the individual International Bank Account Number (IBAN) for your EBS account. This can be obtained on your EBS account statement.

As EBS operates Euro accounts only, international payments to EBS accounts can only be in Euro.

Note: Any payments sent to EBS in non Euro currencies cannot be processed and will be returned.

The person sending the funds (Ordering Customer) must advise the Bank sending the funds (Ordering Institution) to process the payment request directly to the EBS SEPA BIC: EBSIIE2DSDD.

To request your IBAN please contact EBS on 0818 654 322 or your local EBS office quoting the EBS account to which you want the funds transferred.

Attempting to transfer funds internationally using anything other than your IBAN will result in the funds being automatically returned to the paying bank.
