    Hiya, 

    I am moving to Germany in the next 2 months. Is it possible to keep my BOI Accounts and get the Statements etc. send to my new german address? I am with BOI since 8 years and like to keep my account for several reasons.

    Dunno yet how long I will stay in Germany.


    Thanks in advance for your answer

    Kind regards
    srk

    Should be fine. I opened a current account while resident in Germany (used Irish passport + German utility bills) and BoI sends statements etc. over no problem. I had an AIB CC when I left Ireland and changed the address on that as well and AIB were fine so I'd be surprised if you have any problems...in fact as a non-resident you are no longer liable for the stamp duty on your credit card so make sure you do change the billing address ;-)
