From Dublin and Cork to Galway, Limerick or a small town in Kerry, Fonmoney lets you transfer money to Ireland to any bank account in the Republic. The recipient is paid in euros.
Senders in Great Britain and Northern Ireland pay in sterling. Customers in Switzerland, Canada or Norway pay in francs, Canadian dollars or kroner. In every case you see the rate and the euro amount before you commit.
