I think it has to be no older than 3 months old.

Yeah I rang the Branch directly, as I thought they might know more. The guy wouldn't give me the Embassy information, so I asked him for the branch sort code (he said 93-10-47) and enquired have they ever had another sort code 93-12-33? He said yes.

The girl might have been more junior then, as she said the account information i had (ie the details sent in the email) were correct details for the embassy. I see she probably shouldnt have given this out now, so maybe she doesnt really know what is happening.

Did the guy say your payment would go through ok?

He couldn't say either way as he told me he couldn't give out their information. He was a pain in the whole in that regard. Break the rules maaan!! (not obviously)

Back from AIB, that was fairly simple, I used the kiosk machine and did a bank transfer on that and it printed out a big fat receipt after

Oh i'd say he is some craic!
So are we to bombard grafton st with calls then till someone breaks and we find out the answer, or wait till either, some who used the 93-10-47 sort payment gets verified, or the money is returned in our accounts next week?

What's on it though?
I did it in kiosk too, but all it has is location of bank, account debited, account credited, date and amount.....
and recent transactions online has 'kiosk', so hoping the statement will have the reference number...

Payee National Sort Code: 93-10-47 (note: the letter said 93-12-33 but it wouldn't work. I googled it and got this one instead)
Reference: IE-xxxxxx
Description: IEC Canada (this is your personal statement reference)


After I added them, I transferred the 120 euro and then up popped a confirmation page:
"Confirmation
eur 120.00 has been paid from (your account) ~ xxxx to Canadian Embassy, Account: 41489092"

SAVE THIS PAGE!!
I attached this page in a message to them and they verified it for me a few hours later. All good

EDIT: I would actually think this would apply for any bank if you do it online


The new sort code was used and it was verified last night??

Once you upload your passport scan and all that, do you have to pay straight away? What do you do if you are not with AIB???????

The receipt you get from the kiosk will do.

It has the National Sort Code and account number and the amount transferred. It also has the date on when the funds were transferred. I'd be really surprised if that was rejected.

I wrote down all the info they were looking for on the receipt then got the bank to stamp it

yeah just fill out the address as it is normally, guess its for people who have po boxes or temp addresses

As long as you fill in the street number, it allows you to not enter a PO box.

Ah, I had not realised that the payment had been verified as there was no response to the question at the end.
Hence my panic and reason for ringing the banks this morning, who confirmed my fears. But now i am questioning how much the staff at aib actually know. Has anyone else had their payment verified or is it just dmags?

They are going at an insane rate

I went into AIB and they told me to just fill out a lodgement slip. I got a crappy till receipt will almost none of the required info so I did as you suggested and wrote the details on it and got yer man to stamp/sign it. I really hope it's ok along with the lodgement stub.

hi guys,so am i correct in thinking to have one of those spots allocated to you, you have to do the following.

set up the IEC kompass account and fill out everything, then upload your passport photo.

send those details off, then get the WTN and then make the 120 euro payment?

Is this coorect? If so what happens after that?

Thanks!

nearly 2.500 gone in 22 hours that is crazy:D

m.j.w

So whats the craic lads, did most people use the sort code they give 93-12-33 or did you's use the other one? Bit of a joke if they give out the wrong sort code. I just checked my scanned reciept from last year to see which it was but last year it was an IBAN and swift code they give you

Well I'd say about 35% of the people who apply will make a mistake and the quota will be topped up again. You're looking at the middle of next week.

JustRoss23

wasterex dont say that buddy;)

evan2509

Having problems with my bank card. But have my application sent through, says If they haven't received payment by the 9th of February my application will be cancelled. So as long as I pay by the 9th im ok????

vwgolfmk504

i cant see it filling out before end of february

makita

how long were people waiting for their payment to be verified?

cuterob

so say if someone does make a mistake what happens then? are you out of the running and would have to reapply as quick as you can before they are all gone? it might be different now that is all online..does anyone truely know what will happen?

green_dub_girl

Has anyone who paid this morning got a response yet? I paid at half 8 and submitted the receipt but haven't heard anything yet - I'm be beginning to panic that i did something wrong.

Anyone received confirmation of payment who paid earlier today?
