Sending to Ireland: first questions
Practical answers to questions about sending money to Ireland, with a focus on senders in the UK.
▸ I live in Northern Ireland. Can I send money to someone in the Republic?
Yes. Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, so you pay in pounds. The person in the Republic receives euros, and the conversion is shown first.
▸ Can I also send from England, Scotland or Wales?
Yes. Anyone living in the United Kingdom pays in pounds, by card or bank transfer. The process is the same as from Northern Ireland.
▸ My relative gave me a sort code. Do I still need an IBAN?
Yes, Fonmoney works with the IBAN. In Ireland it starts with IE, has 22 characters and already contains the sort code and account number.
▸ Which other countries can I send to Ireland from?
Countries with their own currency, such as Switzerland, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Czechia and Hungary, as well as Chile and Mexico.
Costs, paying and regulation
▸ How much does a transfer to Ireland cost?
It depends on the amount, the country you send from and the payment method. The fee, the rate and the euro amount appear before you confirm, and there are no hidden costs.
▸ Which banks in Ireland can receive the money?
Any bank that issues IE IBANs, for example AIB, Bank of Ireland or PTSB.
▸ How can I pay for my transfer?
By credit card, debit card or bank transfer. What appears at checkout depends on your country.
▸ Is Fonmoney regulated in the UK?
Yes. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) authorises Fonmoney in the United Kingdom, and the Banco de España regulates it in the European Union. Because of these rules, every sender's identity is verified with an ID document.
