Bank of Ireland NI lodgements

sitstill

Do you answer questions in relation to Bank of Ireland NI or just the south?

It had been possible to use my bank card for my BOI NI current account in the UK Post Office to lodge money over the counter. Most UK banks have this service.

On Friday, I went in to the Post Office to do this and they told me the service is no longer available and I need to use personalised lodgement slips from now.

Is this correct and why has the service been stopped?

Hi sitstill,

We can answer questions regarding Bank of Ireland NI products.

As far as we are aware, customers can't use their Bank of Ireland NI cards in the mainland UK post offices, but should be able to use them in Northern Ireland Post Offices. If you were able to use the card in a mainland UK post office, it may have been a decision the post office themselves allowed.

You should still have no issue using the card in Northern Ireland Post Offices.

Thanks
Linda

Thanks for this Linda.

Can you just confirm for me that I would be able to make a lodgement using a lodgment slip in a UK Post Office as I was told in the Post Office? thanks

Hi sitstill,

Provided that the Post Office is in the same jurisdiction as your account, ie NI account and NI Post Office, you can make lodgements using personalised lodgement slips. These are available from your local branch. Details of our branch locations, opening hours and contact details can be found here.

Thanks,
Graham
