      How to send money to Ireland

      How To Step Icon
      Step 1
      Review the competition, register
      Review the competition, register
      Most leading money transfer companies let you send money to Ireland. Take a close look at what the competition has to offer to select one that suits your needs the best.
      Register as a personal or business customer by giving the required information.
      This might include details from a valid ID document such as your passport or driver's license.
      How To Step Icon
      Step 2
      Confirm your transfer after looking at exchange rates
      Confirm your transfer after looking at exchange rates
      Check the performance of EUR exchange rates in the recent past to determine if it is a good time to transfer money to Ireland.
      To begin the process, ask your service provider for a rate quote. The rate might vary based on the transfer amount.
      You can confirm your transfer by locking in the rate.
      You now need to provide the recipient's Irish bank account details.
      How To Step Icon
      Step 3
      Pay and track
      Pay and track
      Use any of the available payment methods to pay for your transfer. The company you select will send money to Ireland only after this step is complete.
      How long it takes for the money to reach the recipient depends on your service provider, the payment method, and the receiving bank.
      Tracking transfers is typically easy - either through notifications on your phone or via online updates.

      Currency Symbol and Swift Codes

      The euro (EUR) has been the official currency of Ireland since 1999, when it superseded the Irish pound (IEP). However, the Irish pound served as legal tender until 9 February 2002. Circulation of euro-denominated currency began only in the beginning on 2002.

      If you want to transfer money to an Irish bank account, you will need the receiving bank’s SWIFT code, sort code, and IBAN. Given below are SWIFT codes on some popular banks in Ireland.

      Case Study

      Daniel’s work required that he spend two years in the UK. Given his imminent return, his wife and daughter continued living in Dublin. They had recently purchased a car, and while Daniel’s wife would have all other expenses covered in his absence, he had to continue making repayments toward his car loan. He decided to compare a top UK bank with leading overseas money transfer companies, and this is what he found.

      Transfer time2 to 6 days2 to 3 days
      Transfer optionsBank accountBank account
      Difference of EUR 102.21

      Using the services of the money transfer company instead of the bank helped Daniel in multiple ways. Given the better value for money he received, the payments he made toward his loan were slightly bigger. He could schedule his transfers according to his needs, so he did not have to remember carrying them out each month. In addition, if he found exchange rates to be favorable, he could lock them for up to six months.

       

      Cash Pickup Locations in Ireland

      Popular money transfer companies such as MoneyGram, Western Union, and Ria have extensive agent networks in Ireland. You may use the services of these companies if you want to send money to Ireland quickly, or if you do not have the recipient’s bank account details.

      Safety Tips for Picking Up Cash in Ireland

      While levels of serious crime in Ireland are low, take precautions against petty crime such as bag snatching and pickpocketing. Most incidents are reported in and around Dublin, and from areas frequented by tourists. Carry large sums of money and valuables on your person only when necessary.

      Instances of car break-ins and thefts have increased in recent times, and thieves often target rental vehicles. Keep your vehicle secured properly at all times. Park in designated and secure parking areas when possible.

       

      What Information Do I Need to Transfer Money to Ireland?

      The information you need varies according to your preferred mode of transfer.

      • Bank account. You will need the recipient’s complete name and bank account number, as well as the receiving bank’s name, SWIFT code, IBAN, and sort code.
      • Cash pickup location. The service provider you select will need the recipient’s complete name and the location from where the recipient plans to collect the transferred money. The recipient may collect the money by presenting an acceptable form of identification document along with a transaction number.

       

      Regulations When Transferring Money To and From Ireland

      Being part of the Eurozone, there are no restrictions when it comes to sending money to or from Ireland. The Central Bank of Ireland oversees the country’s payment systems whereas the European Central Bank (ECB) is responsible for setting the single monetary policy.

      You may bring in or take out any amount of money to or from Ireland. However, any transfer that exceeds EUR 10,000 is reported to the relevant European Union authorities.
