Personal accounts: Ireland

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a non-resident open a bank account in Ireland?

Retail banks are built around residents, and proof of an Irish address is the main hurdle. Without it approvals are rare. It gets much easier once you have moved, are working or studying there.

Do I need a PPS number to open an Irish bank account?

Technically no, but a PPS number makes identification and tax matters far smoother. The bank will still require proof of identity and address.

What counts as proof of address in Ireland?

Usually a utility bill, a tenancy agreement, a letter from a government body or a statement from another bank in your name. Online-only printouts and virtual address services are often rejected.

Does Ireland share bank account information?

Yes. Ireland is in the EU and applies CRS and DAC, so balances and income are reported annually to your country of tax residence.
