    Hi tomtom926a,
     
    Thank you for contacting us on Boards.
     
    To close an account you can:
     
    Call into any Bank of Ireland branch – you will need Photo identification (Passport, Driving Licence, Garda ID) and your account details and express your request to close this account.

    Written request by letter only (an email/fax will not be accepted) – you can post this to your nearest branch or drop it in the branch mailbox.

    If you require the balance to be issued to you by bank draft, please state who the draft should be made payable to.

    If you require the balance to be transferred to a replacement account, we will require details of the beneficiary account i.e. sort code, account number, account name. IBAN & BIC code will also be required if the new account is a held at a foreign bank).
     
    Please note, if you are currently signed up for eStatements, please ensure to switch back to paper statements before having the account closed. This will ensure you are able to receive your closing statement. Once an account has closed it is automatically removed from online access.
     
    Contact details for your branch can be found here
     
    If there is anything else we can help you with please don’t hesitate in contacting us again.
     
    Have a good weekend.
     
    Helen
