    You can't delete the account or the transactions. You can open a new account though.
    If the reason is that you'll be looking for a loan/mortgage - the lender will look for account history (probably for 6 months regardless of whether you have a new account), or if the lender is AIB they will be able to look back further.

    Even if you close the account, the banks are required by law to keep the records for quite some time after.

    As said above, if you are thinking along those lines, account history plays a big part on mortgage lending desicions.

    No I don't want to delete transactions to look for a loan, I just don't like my statement showing online transactions.. I didn't think it could be done but just wanted to find out..

    Maybe just open a new bank account

    Thanks for the replys

    Brendan
